Yale games have an excellent old-time hockey feel.

I love the stripped down atmosphere. No video boards, no distractions, just great hockey. Of course there are times where you wish you could watch a replay, but it’s a nice break from gimmicks for the hockey purists out there.

Totally agree. You're right there by the ice on wooden bleachers; the students who show up to watch the games are spirited. Just a good vibe that's increasingly hard to find in college sports.

That’s my thought too. The way i look at it is that you can get the stripped down rink at Yale or drive 15 minutes up Whitney to QU for a more modern arena. Best of both worlds.
