Re: USA Hockey Nationals - Tier I - Marlborough, MA
To respond to the 2 prior posts -
There was a fire alarm and full facility evacuation on Sunday AM. Everything was quite orderly, but not sure what would have happened if there were smoke or other indications of a real fire. Just about everyone evacuated out the front doors. The emergency exits did open and some of the player went out those doors, but would have been pretty chaotic if there were truly an emergency.
As for the venue - I agree - totally typical for this place. Such a great venue, but alway doing "just enough". There were games scheduled for 8AM on Sunday on sheets of ice booked until after 8AM; meanwhile other sheets of ice were open and available and not scheduled to be used until 8:10 or after. Parking was also a nightmare most of the time. How hard would it have been to run a shuttle from one of the numerous nearby office parks? Was crazy seeing the fire trucks arriving and cars all over the place.......
All in all a good event though.
