Having ice during the fair was merely a nice attraction and break from the summer heat for the fairgoers, and a dog and pony show for the governor to showcase his newest "achievement" after taking out the much-loved by race fans, historic, 1-mile dirt racetrack a few years ago.

    I won't get into a debate on the whole track issue, but in all fairness racing is a dying sport. This coming from a former race series promoter and manager. The new Expo center will actually have a chance to host a race from what I am being told (or is at least being looked into). While indoor TQ midget/sprint racing isn't for everyone, neither is the mods on a 1 mile track. Had Donnely held up to his end of the bargain there would have been a nice facility just north of the fairgrounds. Yes it sucks that the history was taken down, but those who are boycotting the state fair solely on the fact that the track was taken down is a tad silly to me.

    Onto the rink, you pointed out the EXACT reason why hosting an event like an AHA playoff tournament. Yes I am very well aware its not a permanent ice surface, but they're NOT going to go out and get all this stuff to make a temporary ice surface to use it for 2 weeks. It would make perfect sense to put it back up come playoff time to be used again. There are a ton of local teams who would love to use the rink.

    As both a racing and hockey fan, I was sad to see it go, but the new building has a lot of potential. Watching dirt racing at Oswego isn't too shabby either IMO. I know a few drivers who were very unimpressed with the fair surface the last couple years and prefer the tighter Oswego Speedway.....

        This has to be the first time ever AIC has been picked to finish above us, right? At least since our play-in season?

              I really want to know what the coaches think they know about AIC that we don't. Eric Lang has that program moving in the right direction but that's a big reach to say they are the best team from the East. I think drop AIC back down to Earth and the Tigers are about where they deserve to be in the preseason poll. Keep an eye on Bentley, I think they may have the best Freshman class in the AHA this season...
              Course, That's Just my Opinion, I Could Be Wrong.

                For those who would like to look, AIC and Sacred Heart have posted their roster. The AHA list is now complete.

                    I believe you're thinking of South Carolina and Jacksonville State.
                    Can't we all just get along?
                    Always remember... This is just a game we're talking about here. Let's not take it all too seriously.

                        Tom, you changed it from rooster to roaster. Still a chicken, though.

                            I'm curious about AIC, since that took me as a surprise. They are certainly on the rise but to put them top 5? We shall see. I agree RIT is about where they should be. They have so many freshmen and sophomores on the roster, which is interested. My gut feeling is that unless one of the goalies has a breakout season (looking at Drackett), the wins will come when RIT outscores other teams in somewhat high scoring games.

                                Sadly it seems like after one honeymoon year with free HD streams via Sportszone, that has been killed in favor of paying for AHCs inferior product.
