what leg Quinnipiac stands on, other than scholarships!?
Their rink has been "in the works" for yearS now. How can the ECAC bank on that unless Quinnipiac is taking out bonds to finance it at some point. If no one has given money toward its being built, what type of message should that send to the ECAC?
Also, what the eff does HC care about schollies in a non-patriot league sport. It is time to get off our damn high horse and start giving hockey scholarships!!! Is HC's reluctance a Title IX issue? We give freaking scholarships now in all but name to these kids. Let's stop acting like hypocrites and make this happen. 60-40 is just too damn close when we are competing against Quinnipiac for admission. We should be a lock and the fact that we are not is disgraceful.
Throw in the kitchen sink gentlemen and your first born!
What is the capacity of the Hart Center for hockey? I ask as URI supposedly has plans to upgrade its hockey program from club to Division 1 in the coming years and was wondering what is needed. URI opened a rink (Boss Arena) on campus two years ago. It was built at the same time the separate basketball arena was constructed. The Boss Arena currently seats 2,500 with seating on three sides of the rink (one sideline and behind both nets). The hockey arena was supposedly built so that seating could be increased if URI were to upgrade its program.
