    ASU being in February might help attendance for that series, non-hardcore hockey people are in hockey mode by that time.

    Go Blues.

      Thanks! Glad it's not a terrible schedule conspiracy. It's just really weird they didn't put that in their emails, only the paper mailing that I didn't even open.

        Schedule is out. 5 weeks between games from Dec7 to Jan 10. Yikes.

            I was REALLY hoping they'd get a really good home schedule this year. The good news is that there are 5 series after New Year's compared to 4 before, which is more balanced than last year's front-loaded situation.

            The bad news is that one of those home series is Thanksgiving weekend, and two are during winter break. I'm not sure which weekend will be the de facto Halloween weekend, but hopefully it's November 1-2. That didn't use to be a problem, but it is now that games fully shifted from something you're supposed to follow and care about to something that's just kind of there.

            That's bad luck for a program in desperate need of exposure to potential new fans (i.e. current students) and a more impressive gameday product (and sense of a fan base) for those who do wander in.

            Could be worse, and there's always the Big Ten tournament.

                  I am very please that TG openly hates the schedule and the big winter break gap. The B6 coaches need to band together and fix it.

                  I think it is interesting that he is playing the international card this season. He knows he may not ever have a roster as talented as this one and he needs to fire all the shells for a big splash this year (as he has advertised to the fans) or things will get more uncomfortable for him.

                    It looks like the basketball program is on it's way down so that may help hockey getting new fans. At least student section fans. I don't think they need new fans in general. I know at least 10 families myself that used to go to games and will probably (guessing) go again when they are good....like I've always said they are just waiting for a good reason to come out on a Friday or sat night when it's cold and dark.

                    Forget worrying about the "schedule"... like it matters all that much. Come on. If the team is good the fans will come. Badger hockey fans ain't dead in Wisconsin... it's the product on the ice that's been dead.

                    I root for the bball team btw... Just don't think its gonna work with Gard. Plus hockey is way more fun anyway when the team is good.

                    Hockey program doesn't need some gimmick to get people in the stands. Except... maybe the student section for a couple years. Other than that they just gotta win.

                      It's not like all the badger hockey fans died 5 years ago from an aneurism when they saw the big ten was making a hockey conference.

                        Gard is a joke just like Soderberg. How the U got duped twice with h coaches retiring mid season to give their assistants a better chance is ludicrous.
