Don't disagree at all but 11 necessitated 12
Several problems I see that haven't been addressed:
1) Where they're playing. On campus rink sucks, downtown is way too big, apparently Gampel can't fit a rink -also I question the motivation of the students to go downtown on a Friday & Saturday night.
2) So they either need to upgrade on campus or build something, where's that $$ coming from. State of CT isn't in great shape financially, they're donors have been tapped for other projects
3) Hockey is the 3rd most popular winter sport on campus for them. At few other schools in HE (BC, UMass & PC) is it even 2nd of all sports.
We shall see.
