Not exactly related, but I really like Coach Colontino and the coaching staff. There's a team photo around there somewhere of one of asst Coach Bittle's teams when he used to play there. Dude had some flow.
    Oh wow, didn’t know that about the rink. Learn something new every day. Definitely looks like Colontino is doing a nice job at RMU. Hope they keep winning, just not against the Lakers.

        Neither did either of the hockey programs. What a stupid thing to say.

            A newer rink that is really bad is Trinity...just a mess....all that money and they have bleachers...and on only one side?...and what's that mess on the other side? Hard to figure what happened except to conclude that the architect was drunk.
            Back before Canisius went D1, they played at Nichols High School. Even in December, you had to step outside between periods to warm up...

            The coldest college rinks I've been in were the just mentioned Nichols, Potsdam before they renovated it, Cortland and Hobart (even after they enclosed it).

            You have me intrigued about Trinity. I need to figure out a way to check it out.

              Favorite rink is Mercyhurst. Runners up are SLU and Princeton.

              Ultimately it’s about atmosphere, definitely need some fans. Best case scenario is a small rink with seats on at least 3 out four sides of the rink, a good team, and a crowd.

              Colgate looks like it could be so fun for Colgate fans, not too big, good team, after goal thing is cool if you’re a Colgate fan.

              Rinks I would like to go to: Penn State for a women’s game, and a men’s game so I can see it full. Ohio State whenever they build the 4,000 seat rink they’ve been talking about forever. Actually I’d go there to the current rink too. They seem to get some fans, so the atmosphere looks good. LaBahn for a sellout crowd in a close game.

                A school known for its culinary curriculum better have great pretzels! Abomination! JK. I better make sure I've got the right place. From the outside, does it look like one of those pre-fabbed metal military barracks got together with an ice rink and had a baby?

                  BC fans are currently fighting a war over the atrocious pretzels BC sells at sporting events. Sesame seeds on the pretzels instead of salt, I mean really...

                    Harvard gets no love because it's Harvard. But Bright is small and comfortable, with excellent sightlines. It's warm, too. (Do the cheese nachos look nauseating? Yes, but they do everywhere.)

                      The only possible explanation for this is that they think the sesame seeds are salt. If they tasted one of them, I'm sure they'd get them switched to salt.

                          The Mercy rink isn't bad. The lobby area has been re-done, playing area seems to be re-painted and new lighting. Looks like new seats at the one end and from what I understand new dressing rooms with some bells and whistles etc.. for both women and mens' team were added via an addition to the building. They get half decent crowds there for the approx. 1200 person capacity arena so it can be fun with the band, etc. Yes the new and bigger arenas around the league can be awesome but as Lindsay said, not much atmosphere in them unless they are pretty full. Robert Morris rink OK too, but having a rink off-campus is not ideal

                            My favorite rinks are those at which the Goal Gods cavort with Hurd, Wasserman, Chessie, Gibson, Quizon, Hanlon, Leclerc, Blanchard, Peterson, Charron, Kogut and the all the rest, endlessly battling "sont les glaces d'antan."
                            The Domes, Lansing-Chapman, Stafford, Keitzberg, Kenyon, Orr, Dayton.
