Meanwhile, this story from The Rink Live re. attendance & seating restrictions at The Ralph (and beyond) ...
Ralph Engelstad Arena to start with 1,000 fans at home UND hockey games; mask will be required

Each school will have different attendance policies to begin the second half of the season.


Written By: Brad Elliott Schlossman | Dec 28th 2020 - 6pm.


The last time the UND men's hockey team played a game in Ralph Engelstad Arena, it finished with a thunderous roar from a packed crowd as Shane Pinto scored an overtime goal to give the Fighting Hawks the Penrose Cup as National Collegiate Hockey Conference champions.

When the Fighting Hawks finally return home on Jan. 8, after 314 days, it will be quite a bit different.
There will be 1,000 fans in the 11,643-seat building, all of them in the lower bowl.

Nobody will be in the first two rows up against the glass. There will be buffer zones around the tunnels where the players come onto the ice, too.

Every other row will be blocked off. Fans will be sitting in groups of two or four, with either two or four seats blocked off on both sides of them.

The suites, some of which hold up to 24 people, will be limited to four.

The band will be spread across two sections in the upper bowl. ...

Scheel's Growth Makes North Dakota Title Hopefuls

by Avash Kalra/Senior Writer

The question for North Dakota entering the 2020-21 season wasn't really if the Fighting Hawks could return to the same level of dominance they showed prior to last season's abrupt cancellation — it was, simply, would they?

As the stretch run in the NCHC begins in earnest, North Dakota — finding the same level of play that made it a national championship favorite last spring — sits atop the league table again, fueled not just by the unfinished business of last season's title hopes, but by a revitalized defensive effort since the calendar flipped to 2021.

During a whirlwind stretch in the Omaha 'pod' last month, UND allowed three or more goals five times during a seven game span. In contrast, in January so far, the Fighting Hawks have allowed one or fewer goals in five out of six games played.

"I think we have the best D corps in the NCAA, but it's really a commitment to a defensive game," said junior goaltender Adam Scheel, who plays behind a star-studded defensive unit that includes Matt Kiersted and Jacob Bernard-Docker. "A lot of people look at our team and think of guys like Jordan Kawaguchi or Collin Adams, Grant Mismash — but it really starts in our D zone. That's what we pride ourselves on, not giving up a lot and creating our chances from our own zone." ...

Ticket Information, Game Times Announced for 2021 NCHC Frozen Faceoff

By NCHC, 02/12/21, 12:30PM EST

Pre-sale for full event packages begins Tuesday, public on-sale begins Saturday, Feb. 20

GRAND FORKS, N.D. – Ticket information and game times for the 2021 NCHC Frozen Faceoff have been finalized by the National Collegiate Hockey Conference (NCHC) and Ralph Engelstad Arena. The NCHC announced on Monday that its 2021 postseason tournament would be held from March 12-16 in Grand Forks, N.D., be all single elimination and that a limited number of fans will be allowed to attend.

All seven games at the 2021 Frozen Faceoff will be single sessions, with five hours between puck drops when two games are played on the same date. Both days of quarterfinals on Friday, March 12 and Saturday, March 13 will have the first game of the day at 2:37 p.m. CT, with the nightcap at 7:37 p.m. CT. The semifinals on Monday, March 15 are set for 3:05 p.m. and 8:05 p.m. CT, while the championship game on Tuesday, March 16 will be a 7:35 p.m. CT puck drop.

Both full event packages and single-session tickets will be available for purchase to the Frozen Faceoff, with full event packages going on sale first. A pre-sale for full event packages beginning on Tuesday, Feb. 16 will be made available to past Frozen Faceoff ticket buyers, North Dakota season-ticket holders, and North Dakota Champions Club members, while each member school will also have an opportunity to purchase full event package inventory set aside for each NCHC member. All pre-sales run through Friday, Feb. 19 at 10 p.m. CT.

Full event packages will then go on sale to the general public on Saturday, Feb. 20 at 10 a.m. CT. Full event packages are available for $249 plus fees for the lower bowl, while upper bowl seats are available for $199 plus fees. Full event packages include seven tickets, one for each individual game, with full event lower bowl pricing averaging $35.57 per game, while upper bowl pricing breaks out to $28.43 per game.

To purchase full event packages once on sale, visit ticketmaster.com. To see a seating chart of Ralph Engelstad Arena, click here. A physically distanced seat map will be used for the 2021 Frozen Faceoff.
If tickets remain after the pre-sale and general public on-sale, single-session (single game) tickets for the quarterfinals will go on sale Monday, March 8 once all quarterfinal match-ups are finalized. More information on single-session ticket pricing and availability will be announced as the tournament nears.

Each game has been deemed a single-session ticket to help with COVID-19 mitigation, meaning fans will leave and re-enter the building with a different ticket on days with two games. This allows the venue to be cleared after each game, cleaning to take place, and prevents fans from congregating in large groups between games.

Approximately 3,000 ticketed attendees will be allowed in Ralph Engelstad Arena for each of the seven NCHC Frozen Faceoff games. The 3,000 fans allowed per game are approximately 26 percent of the normal, full capacity of Ralph Engelstad Arena (11,634).

All tickets will be reserved seat tickets to assist with contact tracing, if necessary. Face masks/coverings will be mandatory at all times when in the building, except when actively eating or drinking in a physically distanced seat. Food and drinks may only be consumed while in your assigned seat.
