    Lively Snively Arena. Had to be the coldest rink I’ve ever been in.
    And 2014 fans was still more fans then they had for a regular season game at the salt shed last night.

      A whopping 36 more. I remember when, even for an exhibition game, you could pull over 3000. Obviously not expecting a sellout, but excitement used to be much higher.

        True. But coming off a 6-win year and a 5 PM Sunday afternoon game during NFL season for a meaningless exhibition game. I didn’t expect more than what we had. Let’s see what type of crowd comes out for Saturday nights regular season home opener.

          I went back to the 2010-11 season and only once was it above 3,000. 2013-14 vs St. Mary 3,123. Last year was not available but most, in the last 8yrs. has been around 2,600. BTW, I sat in the student Sect. by the Band & that was very void of students. It is what it is I guess. There has not been much the last couple of years to expect anywhere near 3,000 people for an exhibition game. Win & they will come, simple as that.

                        2600 is fair. I'm not too worried about student involvement yet, given this was a 3-day weekend, and the kids have a tendency to head out of town on those (I know I did). If you see the same lack of involvement next week, then I'd start to get concerned.

                          Looked more like 1014. I wonder how players feel to skate out onto home ice and see a virtually empty arena?

                            For certain the make up of the student body has changed drastically from what I remember in the days I was there. i am not sure though that most of that change has occurred in the past 10 years than in all the years before. Having attended virtually every home game from 1963 through 2001 one constant over all those 38 years was the students attending and the spirit from that side of the rink. not being there in person makes it impossible to judge but from all the TV broadcasts it appears to be so vastly different.

                              Remember that we don't see the student section side of things. As for the players, I'm sure they're appreciative of any of us that come out, especially when we make our presence known at away games. I seem to recall a stick salute after Cornell last year.

                                My biggest worry is current student apathy. For quite a while, WRPI has been trying to advertise during games for student involvement. We hardly see any of them post here (Mr. and Mrs. lugnut being some of the last as of late). As much as we enjoy these things to happen, unless those currently involved are willing to keep it going, the things we found as good will just die out.
