Anyone else catch the comment in the other thread that McFarland was not on campus/not around when HC hosted the ECAC on their fact-finding visit ?

Some pressing biz off campus I guess....question of priorities I guess....other things more important I guess....could be a dentist appointment that day I guess....maybe had to get the car washed I guess.

I think the importance of a quality on-campus rink has been missed by many posters. The ECAC doesn't have teams that play games in half (three/quarters) empty off-campus rinks. The cost of upgrading the women's team is minimal (unless you want to win). The rink remains the big issue. Is a renovation of Hart that adds 900 seats a possibility?

Good luck.

It's not a very expandable building, both in terms of the hockey and basketball arenas. I always thought they were better off with a smaller version of Conte Forum* than what they built.

*Basketball plays on floor over hockey arena, allowing ice to be used pretty much when there is no basketball game. They have practice court(s) for basketball with a seating capacity of 1000 or less.

Blow the building out by 20-25 feet on the far side of the hockey arena. Have the road on the side of Hart go through the new part of the building, under the new expanded stands for the hockey arena. Find a way to put two new locker rooms in there for M/W soccer and lacrosse. Adds 1,000+ seats. ECAC membership application accepted. Students have fun watching Crusaders beat Colgate, Yale, Harvard. Alumni are happy. Team gets better. BC comes to play Crusaders at Centrum. Alumni are really happy. Think the money could be raised for this secnario? Probably by year end. And all this could get done before mighty Quinnipiac plays a single game in the new arena in Hamden CT.

Interesting thought tim....

But I've occasionally wondered how hectic it is to change back and forth from hockey to hoops for both games and practice times for BC's m/w hoops and m/w hockey. Four teams - one combo rink/gym. I think Umass's arena operates the same way.

Where are BC's practice/auxilary courts ? Do they have a 2nd rink for practice too ?
