      17 game before the Christmas break and 17 after.
      Brilliant move having one of the best rivalries in Hockey East on a Wednesday night. No wonder attendance is down so much.

        I wonder why Maine would agree to a mid-semester Wednesday game in Durham; sounds preposterous to me. Ditto UNH traveling to RPI on an in-semester Wednesday night. Just makes no sense.

          I get the feeling, with all of the scheduling craziness with the teams involved, coupled with UNH still needing to fit in some conference games, not to mention travel and corresponding rest days involved, that this was the best that could be done. Looking at the schedules spreadsheet, I really don't see much better. It's not ideal, but still better than no games at all.

            When you get a cupcake willing to play you, you fit them in the schedule no matter when. 600 games aren't going to win themselves on paper, you still have to play the games.

              Yeah, hear you on the PWR of this collection. I didn't think anyone was looking at this years addition as a Tournament team? More as a true building year.

              I feel the most significant change will come after DU has departed and we learn who will take the 3rd spot on the coaching ladder. I feel good about MS but think that the next addition will be huge in terms of getting and developing talent. Especially on the defensive side.

                Putting the Maine game on a Wednesday night seems incredibly wasteful. Taking the one game that sells out every year and putting it on a night that will likely reduce attendance down to 4,000 or so. Other than for that no odd mid week games on the home schedule which is a good thing. I read on the Maine thread that their home weekend set against us is going to be during their break so it's going to be down on both ends.

                For anyone who attends road games this schedule is actually decent for that, many of the HE road games are on Saturday night.

                I doubt anyone was expecting a blockbuster OOC schedule, especially with the extra HE games added so late. I'm guessing we will be paying a weekend visit to Colorado next season as this will be the second year in a row they have travelled here. It will be interesting to see how this season goes, hopefully ATW has it right that this is a true rebuilding year for the group.

                  Got the letter...have prices gone up some? $324/seat thought it was less..$307 last couple of seasons? .also, can't wait for 'bobble head night' Did get a chuckle out of the 'formidable OOC foes'. Anyway...we will renew.

                      You can add NICC away conference games to those OOC foes, right? And, probably also no overnights for bus trips away this coming season other than Maine? But, I would think that these cost savings will make up only a small fraction of the revenues in lost STH sales, HR's re-upping as a STH notwithstanding.

                        Well, the Umile 300k isn't going to pay itself.

                        Remember, we're changing the culture here by Playing against the best and recruiting against the best.

                          Additional home game so the price increased for that. The way they word it is the"price per game" did not increase.

                            Well there you go. I had read it really fast when I first took a look...like I said, bring on the 'bobblehead' night!

                              Can't imagine it also being Valentine's Day will help that attendance number much.
                              Are you guys brothers?

                                Good point; also could be the Valentine's Day Massacre.
