Would be awesome if this could happen. Penn State just made the jump from club to varsity last year and they got a BEAUTIFUL new hockey arena on-campus this year. Granted hockey has a much greater presence in PA and the B1G than the ACC, and their facility cost $88 million which I'm assuming is a ton more than our budget would ever be, but still.
The same.
I looked it up for my own curiosity.
"As nearly as possible, the dimensions of the rink shall be
200 feet long and 85 feet wide. The corners should be rounded in the arc
of a circle with a radius of 20 feet"
I would be at a lot of games if this happened.
It seems like it would just be easier to build a new facility all the way around if the admin and board ever wanted to bring hockey to campus.
What's the size of NCAA rinks?
NHL rinks are 200' x 85' and Basketball Courts are a much smaller 94' x 50'. Its just too much bigger. But somebody might have a way of doing it, maybe by taking a few rows out to accommodate the rink and then adding collapsible rows to move out when in basketball mode. It would be a major pain in the a$$ though.
Yeah it would be awesome!
This is what I want to happen! My dad and I were just discussing the other night how awesome
it would be to go to the burg for a hockey game instead of Roanoke. I think it would
totally be worth to make remodeling changes to the Cassell for this. At least we could have a
larger crowd for these guys and keep them on campus.
Dude, you gotta be more careful. Many times when some of the member on here got pissed at you for some of the shit you said I upvoted you. I'll let it slide because I was only being humorous, but don't jump the gun.
I like this snapchat selfie of Bud!
Good synopsis of it and I agree! Canada in my opinion, too, is that they have been struggling to a certain point. If we play like we have I think we will be fine but I'm afraid we are due for an off performance. Hope I am wrong though. We are playing hungry and lights out!
Some idiot must have hijacked my TKP account and made that comment. Of course the real me knew that was the roller hockey team. Of course...
Downvote from me.
Cannot stand arrogant 'I told you so' in a not so veiled attempt to troll a disappointed fanbase.
One thing's for sure, it's clear we need a men and women's varsity hockey team. It's clear that the US won't beat Nadians without some former Hokies on the roster.
I am too..actually. One of my friends' dad saw me on TV very briefly when they were interviewing Ore. A couple of guys tried hoisting me up on their shoulders and just behind Ore in the background you see my head pop up like a gopher a couple of times.
Talent alone will allow the US to get into the medal round every time in the Olympics until other countries start taking women's sports seriously. Thats just a fact of life.
There is a HUGE MASSIVE PROBLEM when you have a team up 2 goals with less than 4 minutes to go and you lose the game. Absolutely no excuses for a chokejob like that. Canada owns them in the medal rounds. Absolutely owns them and eats their lunch. Its pathetic. Whatever we're doing, its not working in the Olympics. You don't go into a defensive shell for the last 10 minutes of the game when your identity is a high pressure team that stretches the ice to keep the opponent honest. The US took their foot off the gas way too early and it cost them gold. That blame lies squarely on the coaching staff for the adjustment.
What's wrong with Orlando? I've only seen him on TV a handful of times, mostly covering tropical storms in Florida. I thought he gave an apt analysis.
men's semifinal vs canada is tomorrow at noon
That's what I was thinking but wasn't sure. I guess structurally it isn't possible then.
I think we're gonna win. Canada hasn't been playing too well, and with Crosby's line struggling they could be in trouble. The great thing about the US team is that it's basically 4 energy lines with offensive skill. They score a lot of ugly goals, but they have the talent to score pretty ones too (see: Kane's pass to Pavelski against Russia). Our special teams have been awesome too. I think the biggest advantage is Quick over Price and that'll be the difference. US-4 Canada-2
This is why we need a women's hockey team in 'burg. Put a couple former Hokies on the US Olympic team and they'll knock the shit out of the Nadians.
Yes you did. I'll give you a turkey leg for that.
My brother's band, Running with Scissors, opened for the Pietasters in 2003 at South Main Cafe (now Baja Fish Taco). Let me tell you, those guys knew how to throw down. My liver still hurts.
Yes, let's fire the entire coaching staff that got us to the gold medal match. This man knows what he's talking about.

Same here. I would try to make at least 75-80% of them.
