About to see my first game in Tupelo- pretty nice set up for the club. Is the university able to give them any financial support at all? Decent crowd already in the stands vs LSU.

No university support at all. My understanding is they have to pay for everything personally, including practice ice time.Quote:

Does the team play home games in Tupelo? If so, why? Is that the closest ice to Starkville?
I seem to remember they played in Decatur a couple of years ago, probably at Point Mallard.
Hockey's a lot of fun to watch, but I don't know if it'd ever go over as a supported sport at MSU. It's pretty popular at UAH but they don't have football ... just baseball and basketball, and that's at a much lower level than the what we are at MSU.
Tickets are $6 and they sell beer at the games.Quote:

It’s been years since I have gone and attendance was 2-3k. I believe Kentucky has a D1 team.Quote:

I think Bammer started playin' the hockey in 2005... If things gone well this season, I think we'll have a shot at our 19th Hockey NC...
I'm not going until they resurrect and put a 5 star, woolly mammoth in at goalie, though.
Who won?
