Once a trend in college hockey, Olympic-sized rinks are going away | Grand Forks Herald

I was right.

 

[Holystik]

Donovan the goon lol

 

[Redux91]

That's what I thought, but look at the space behind the net.

No youre right i noticed it too, looks like a lot of space lol

 

[peate]

Flynn confused as usual.

 

[Holystik]

Looks like a big ice surface, is it Olympic sized?

College hockey has no standard rink size. Most Division-I men’s teams play on an NHL-size sheet of ice (85 feet wide), but several play on Olympic sheets, which are wider (100 feet). Some even play on “hybrid” ice that is somewhere in the middle. This variety adds a unique element of home-ice advantage to the college game.

Nine teams currently play on home ice that is at or near Olympic-size: Alaska, Alaska-Anchorage, Colorado College, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Hampshire, Northern Michigan, St. Cloud and Wisconsin.

 

[Holystik]

Think its the camera angle lol

Badgers' home is near olympic size. It's an hybrid rink size.

Yeah the announcer just said "its a narrower rink than usual" so olympic behind the nets but narrow in the middle lol

Great play by Caufield for the apple

 

[peate]

Smart play by Cole.

giving bergevin some love. in recent years, he's got habs into that conveyor belt of excess picks, which gives us more chips to find quality prospects and then he just flips the excess picks for more the following year. it's f***ing smart

Easy there...trading higher picks in a good draft year for multiple lower ones in a bad draft year is not “f**n smart”. In fact, It’s dumb. What would have been smarter is to package the excess ones (with maybe even lower level prospect) to get an extra first rounder ...then we’re talking

I said in my post not to forget about poor Gorniak and the first post forgets about poor Gorniak.

Gorniak ? is he a Goldorak's brother/ son ?

 

[Redux91]

Wow, sick ass pass by Caufield leads to a 1-0 lead

 

[Digitalbooya]

Holy s***, I came to post in Caufield's thread after his great pass to Weissbach for a goal and you guys have a whole gameday thread! That is awesome!

Sounds like a girl I dated.

 

[montreal]

Michigan st isn't very good again this year so this game could be boring.

bottom line is that he continues to amass picks each year, giving the team greater opportunity to uncover good players

Seeing Caufield quarterbacking a PP is still kinda weird to me It's good that he's rounding his game out and learning new stuff but I just can't ever imagine him doing that as a pro. To his credit though, he's gotten pretty decent at the point.

 

[Holystik]

Good to see Caufield being all smiles today. Seems like the kid is having fun.

 

[Redux91]

Lol! the announcer almost imploded the universe there

"And he's out of the box for a shorthanded break!!"

He wasnt really QB it tho, he just happened to find himself manning the blue line for a bit after all the puck movement, they were on for the nearly entire 2 minutes lol

It was a pretty good presence tho, but just could never get into the real one timer spot, he spent most of the time (1min lol) on the right side wall actually

When prospects' games are televised, we usually look to start a GDT because the game is accessible to many more people who are able to watch it and discuss the game or prospect.

If the game isn't televised, we usually either post in the individua prospect's thread or the one for all prospects
