    My wife has already said she's staying indoors, and not wasting money on a ticket. Given her situation, it is probably a good plan.
    Having a clear conscience just means you have a bad memory or you had a boring weekend.

      In addition to safety, ice at that temp is pretty crappy, isn't it?

      Last year, HDM was in St. Cloud, and the Kato-St. Cloud game was played indoors. The Gophers play regularly in HDM, and those have been indoors. It wouldn't exactly be breaking tradition to not play the college game outside.

        The Beavers first had to get the okay from Michigan Tech to play the game outdoors and then from the WCHA, since conference points were going to be on the line. Both agreed, so the game was scheduled this way. If it was a non-conference game, I don't believe the WCHA would have been involved, it just would have been up to the two schools.

        I believe last year's Kato-St. Cloud game is the first time a college game has been in the same town as HDM (edit: 2016 was in Duluth). HDM has always revolved around the Wild and/or the Gophers in Prime Time, hence the reason the BSU-Tech game on Saturday isn't getting covered by FoxSports North.

        Here is the TV Schedule including FSN+. FSN felt the SCSU-Western Michigan game was better for FSN+ than BSU and Tech......

        9 a.m. Hockey Day coverage begins FSN/*FS App
        9:30 a.m. Andover vs. Minnetonka (Boys) Lake Bemidji, Bemidji FSN/*FS App
        1 p.m. Minnesota State vs. Bemidji State (Women) Lake Bemidji, Bemidji FSN/*FS App
        4 p.m. Ohio State vs. Minnesota Duluth (Women) Amsoil Arena, Duluth FSN+/FS2/*FS App
        4:30 p.m. Greenway vs. Bemidji (Boys) Lake Bemidji, Bemidji FSN/*FS App
        6:15 p.m. Western Michigan vs. St. Cloud State (Men) Herb Brooks Center, St. Cloud FSN+/FS2/*FS App
        8 p.m. Minnesota Wild vs. Columbus Blue Jackets Xcel Energy Center, St. Paul FSN/FS App

            That's not what I needed to see before watching a hockey game on a lake...

                Based on the temps in Bemidji I don't think you have to worry about falling through their ice. Quite frankly I'm surprised the ice is still bad in Traverse City!

                      It sounds like there will be heat on the benches, so skaters should be fine. The most vulnerable groups will be the goalies, the referees, and mostly the fans.

                        I'm thinking there will be a lot fewer fans than expected/ hoped for.

                        I know I'm not that bummed that I won't be there. Watching on Flo or just listening to Dirk is fine with me for this one.

                          I'm curious to see what level of coverage the video feed will be.

                            That's why I say just listening to Dirk. I know that quality will be good.

                              There will be less for the Tech-BSU game, but I doubt it takes too big of a hit on the Saturday HDM crowd.

                                And Friday seems interesting. -18, will it even be played outside at that temp? I have to agree with Joe, bigger home advantage than normal with Bemidji getting to use the outdoor ice this week and prepare for how to keep their players warm.
                                According to the Beaver Radio Network's Coaches' Show from last night, BSU was only allowed one practice on the outdoor rink, which is today (Thursday), for one hour. Tech will also have one hour of practice on the ice.
