I would price at 18. I think 20 is the price point. I am sure we have the most expensive facility for a school to rent in the nWCHA. The league is more competitive, but less attractive to the casual fan now. I have always hoped we could get consistent crowds in the mid 3000 range with the occasional 4000+ for the "big boys"

They will need to continue to assess the market and make the changes needed to put butts in the seats. As Sir Sidney has said "just win baby" On that note nice to get the first OT winner last Saturday night! I do think this Beaver team will be a top tier team in the next couple of years.
