I for one and not a hocky fan, but if HC played in the ECAC and drew some top notch games at home, I would go. The Ice Cats proved you could sell good hockey in Worcester and the fact we have held the NCAA's has got to tell you something.

This looks to be a no-brainer and adding scholarships has got to be part of the deal.(Regan mentioned they were looking at adding scholarships to another sport a couple of years ago in a Crossports interview).

The one thing that makes me cautious is the HC likes to talk about the future and what may happpen, but when the future becomes the now, they wish to back off and make no mention of it. If you are a hockey backer you should let the administration know you would like to see it happen.

the last two posts are spot on --- also, on the fundraising question it has been my experience that occasional so-called "restrictive" campaigns can draw support from those alums who don't ordinarily give large amounts of money to a general fund because they don't want their money supporting policies or groups they don't happen to agree with -- but if it's targeted to improve one aspect of the college -- say the hockey program -- above and beyond what the college normally spends on it they will give -- HC can do well in hockey and compete nationally --- unfortunately, the same cannot be said for most of our other sports -- save lacrosse if we ever decide to focus seriously on it --
