At one point after a scrum, Kotyra talked to both benches as if to tell them this is an exhibition so keep it in perspective. Carleton not a bad team at all, some very good skaters, bigger forwards, we have not much size upfront. Lidgett and Wilson looked good, but small. Mihalik was great, it was Vaughan's first practice with the team, October 1 by NCAA rules. I wouldn't take too much out of this game.
    Yeah, it was kind of ugly, very very chippy as far as an exhibition goes. It is good practice though, and there were some positives- couple breakaways that could have ended it in OT, but it was the first game, and it showed.

    Charging full price for it though was probably too much from the Athletic Department, I can understand it not being free, but charge $5 or something.

      It's homecoming weekend, so it might be tough. I would suggest the Colgate Inn and if not, look for places in New Hartford and/or Utica. Oneida or Cazenovia might have places too and are not that far away.

        Other option is Norwich, which is maybe a half-hour down Route 12.

          Aren't exhibition games supposed to be free admission??? Even though it ended in a tie, at least the players got 65 minutes of skating time. And we learned to stay out of the penalty box.

          Surprised Kurtis Bartliff was a scratch for the exhibition. Hopefully it was just illness or a healthy scratch, and not an injury.

              If you need to be near a bit more civilization, look at Syracuse as well. It's about an hour drive to Hamilton, but plenty to do out here. (not that there isn't around Hamilton)

                Well, Carleton beat SLU 5-2, guess they are a good team. Softens the blow a little.

                Miami fans....Oneida has Turning Stone Casino, 15 mins from Hamilton. You can stay there, and there are other hotels just outside the casino. If you golf bring your clubs, three unbelievable courses there and one in Hamilton...Seven Oaks. Nice restaurant at Seven Oaks too.

                Also Utica 30 miles, Syracuse 45 miles, Rome 30 miles(15 minutes from casino, the leaves will be near peak so hope for good weather. Hamilton is a very small town in the middle of farmland, very hilly too. Colgate plays Cornell in football Sat afternoon also, you won't be dissappointed.
                It all starts with the goaltending.

                    I believe it's called the "Wendt Inn" just north of Hamilton - you might give them a try, altho may be booked for homecoming weekend. It's maybe a mile up 12B from the center of town. More like a motel than an Inn.

                      Very interesting Shabby. Nice to see us in 5th. Kind of wondering about RPI in 10th? Most folks in the "Pick the Standings" contest have the Engineers higher...but then again we are in the RPI geographic area..

                            Shabby, I assume that is a regional CBS broadcast? If it were national I'd be ecstatic

                              I believe he is talking about CBS College Sports (formerly CSTV), which is a national broadcast.

                                CBS College Sports, national broadcast. Well, national for those people that fork over the money for the channel or have it on the satellite dish.
