Just bought my ticket to the UML game. $25. Why doesn't anyone complain about ticket prices anywhere else?

Hopefully on hiatus because we play them in first round of beanpot

We usually don't play them the Tuesday before Thanksgiving when we have them in the Beanpot first round. We did in '15, didn't in '12 or '09.

It has been hit or miss on the Tuesday before turkey game for a handful of years now. We also subbed in Bentley and Holy Cross once or twice somewhat recently.

Harvard / BU that Tuesday was a staple for a long time ... not sure why it has at least partially dried up. Maybe attendance for that game has slipped more than it has in general. I was always a big fan of it and thought it was a great night for a game.

A sizable student population has to travel further these days for turkey day than in past years due to the shifting makeup of the student body (opposite side of the country/international) so they leave early to justify the cost.

Although taking a look, last years Harvard game that Tuesday is listed as 4.5 k attendance... as good or better than most of the weekend home games so far this year.

Would love to see them keep that Tuesday game. Okay Harvard every year we don’t play them in the beanpot and pick another local team for those years. (Bentley, Holy Cross etc)

A bit of Red Hot Hockey info:
BU will broadcast the game on TerrierTV.
Terriers will once again have their game day morning skate with Hockey in Harlem at 11:30 a.m.

Happy Thanksgiving to all!

Ten years ago today, BU and Cornell played the first Red Hot Hockey game with BU winning, 6-3.

Highlights of the first five RHH games. At 1:20: Ross Gaudette's perfect overtime deflection won the 2011 game for BU.
