    Re: Colgate 2011-12

    I really couldn't be happier for the boys and the whole staff. 3-22-1 was really freakish last year. I really loved the ECAC clip and seeing all the smiling faces on the USCHO tournament pick. I read an article on BC expecting to win 6 trophies this year, and they started with the Ice Breaker as #1. I'm not sure Gate expected to win any this year, but they have 2 so far. The "Friendship Series" against Team Italy (I'm counting it I don't care) and now "The Maverick Stampede". I think 2007 was the last time we picked any other hardware up.

    Below is the link to the Goals and post game ceremonies ColSkate mentioned.

      Also on INCH "Tweet of the Week" Dekanich tweeted congrats etc" very nice !!

      Ok..It's Wednesday, We have a "Marquee Matchup" with #4 Miami this weekend. This is "The real test", I wonder if we'll have any support this weekend at Starr. Last time Miami played here "It was very ugly".

        Shabby....friendly FYI, Miami is #5 in the USCHO poll, #4 in the USA Magazine/USA Today poll. So I would rank them a 4.5!
        I've been lost since 1989. I got a breakaway on a frozen river and have been skating ever since.

          Shabby, one correction Kmac was picking up the CHAMPIONSHIP trophy as the captain, wasn't on the all tournament team but he played well none the less.

          Miami is good but isn't the team they were last year. Can't lose guys like Miele and Camper and all of their goals and assists and be the same team. I think that was proven this past weekend when they had a tough time with Bemidji at home. That being said this is a great time for them to come to town. The players should be fired up for this weekend. Not to mention this is a GIGANTIC boost to our strength of schedule playing the #4 team twice.

          Glad they also added local TV coverage.

              Miami did lose three of their four top scorers, hmmmmmm. They also have three top recruits including Gord Murphy's son Connor .

                Disagree. Maybe if this were a situation where the weather might play a factor (i.e. snow making the roads bad) then I could see that But, it's not every day that Colgate hosts a team outside of ECAC Hockey that is ranked in the top five for a two-game weekend series. A team not long removed from playing in the national championship game at that. I think that fact alone will bump up the crowds and possibly pull in some of the fringe folks that don't attend a lot of games. The weather, while it might be rainy, won't be an issue for travel. It's also Homecoming weekend so there will be more people about town than on a normal hockey weekend. Hopefully student turnout will be strong - it usually is for the first few games; I remember a very good crowd for the home opener against Sacred Heart last year on Halloween weekend.

                And in regards to TV hurting the turnout for games in general - it's been an age-old question in every sport. Heck, back in the 20s and 30s, New York's professional baseball teams refused to put games on the radio because they thought it would hurt crowds. Now, every game is on the radio, many games are on television and one can view or listen to most any sporting event in the world on your computer.

                  I wish, Mr. Murphy took his talents to Ontario.

                      I know people in the area that won't show because it's on tv. We can't even get students to come ffs !!I just hope I'm wrong.
