Chip did a really nice article in the Register on the beginnings of Quinnipiac Hockey. It's worth your time:

Looks like the Big Red will be visiting Hamden next weekend for a best-of-3 quarterfinal series with the Bobcats.

Saturdays game will be televised on NESN. Hopefully the TV timeouts don't become a distraction.

I'll be at the Bank for game 2. Cornell is a tough draw but better to have them at home than to travel to Lynah. Wonder how many Cornell fans will be in the house next weekend.

Being that the Friday and Saturday games are either sold out or SRO, that limits the number of tickets available to the visitors. I'm sure they'll still travel well but the home crowd will have to take care of the atmosphere.

Yup hopefully some students will come back early as that is the tail end of Spring Break.

Mark, I am not sure how you get your ticket info at QU, but there must be an ECAC rule that at least a certain number of tickets are retained by the league for the visiting school. If you are looking at the online availability, it may be just the tickets that are available after the visiting school allotments. It is my belief that if cornell does not sell their allotment, then they will be released by a certain date this week.

There is nothing available for either Game 1 or 2 via QuinnipiacBobcats.com. Cornell probably gets a small allotment of tickets. Also have to see if Quinnipiac's student tickets are going to go quickly.

Rand said on this interview that the arena will be getting a new scoreboard next year and they will have the best scoreboard in college hockey.

That's what earning the 2014 Women's Frozen Four will do for you. From what I have heard, there will be a new jumbotron above the ice, with two new scoreboards above the student section, one on each bathroom in that endzone.

I have also heard that the same changes will be made to the basketball side of the Bank also. I don't have complete 100% confirmation on that, but that is the word around town for what it's worth.

I heard that Rand is headed to BU, any truth to the rumour?

Re: Quinnipiac Bobcats '12-'13 Post Season - The view from the top...

Also, for what it's worth, here is a video Quinnipiac posted back in 2011 with a demo of what new scoreboards could potentially look like:

While I do not believe that the first video board shown is what the school is going to do, consider myself smitten with the demo jumbotron in that video.

Also, it would be great to have QU enter an agreement with Coke products instead of Pepsi, but I will take new scoreboards as a compromise.

Just a local fan here who attends the games. Can QU take this any more over the top? It is already bordering on cartoonish sycophanthy! The upgrades to the scoreboard and video will be great! The other crap, ala thundersticks are annoying and tacky. Get back to the game, please.

The word from my sister's friend's brother's uncle is that there is a 67% chance that he'll be headin' to BU. Kevin Bui and Sami Liimatainen to take the reigns at QU.
