The Vinny philosophy is what it is,and is reflected in NU's administrative approach to athletics. In addition, the Dwyer Arena has and will continue to defer any chance for the hockey program to be accepted into a high major conference. If you think Michigan State, Michigan, Boston U. et al, will play a home and home series against Niagara, you're wrong.

There are other relatives variables involved that precludes NU from advancing to the level you suggest.
Remember, just like D1 basketball and football,new programs are entering the ring in college hockey, which further complicates the picture; and oh yes, there's also the NIL and portal in college hockey.

Dwyer has never made a penny in profit
Dwyers rink pad has been replaced three times due to orginal corner cutting
Dwyer could never have been made into a full bowl

But with that said. It’s amazingly fun time with a 6 year old son who loves hockey. He loves the games. They serve beer. So I can have a lager while I teach him about hockey.

I go to many games a year now. I live five
Miles from rink. BUT I often think of what could have been with the hockey program.

NU is not very good, yet d1 hockey is very entertaining and affordable
