    Pep bands add to the experience of attending a DI college hockey game. In your experience which schools' bands contribute the most to the atmosphere of DI college hockey?

    In sheer terms of getting under the opponents teams skin, there is no one better than the Clarkson pep band.

              Sure, they suck in general, but this is pretty cool.

                30 Years ago that was true.
                20 Years ago also.
                10 years ago maybe.
                Currently - they are good, but, not great/don't control the atmosphere like they once did. The student section in general at hockey games has declined dramatically - some classic chants are gone, originality has decreased tremendously, and a lot of football chants have made their way into the rink. The student section somewhat takes their lead from the band, & the band has really dialed it back over the last ten years - seems to be much more conservative. I'm not sure if that's at Barry's direction, or Leckrone is just getting old/mellow in his old age. I just know that Badger hockey games do not have the party atmosphere they used to, and the band has to take some of that responsibility.

                    Depends on who's playing - usually root for the underdog.

                              My vote is the Michigan Tech band. When they came to the WCHA playoffs in St. Paul they owned that building! They supported any team who did not have a band traveling with them by playing as if they were their home band. This was a few years ago but there was an energy that they created which was fantastic and probably impossible to ever replicate. Loved the energy, the support of other teams without a band and those great gold and black stripped overalls.
