Hockey vs UW at Camp Randall Hockey Classic
I'm going to be a grad student at UW this fall. While I was browsing the UWBadgers.com website, I came across a little nugget here: http://www.uwbadgers.com/tickets/mhky/page_840.html
"The grounds of Camp Randall have been host to many historic events throughout Wisconsin’s history. From its place as a training ground for soldiers of the Civil War to its more recent distinction as the home of the Wisconsin Football Badgers, a more hallowed parcel of ground is hard to find throughout Wisconsin. On February 6, 2010 the University of Wisconsin will build on Camp Randall’s bedrock position in this state’s history as the Wisconsin Men’s Hockey and Women’s Hockey teams take to the outdoor ice against Michigan (men) and Bemidji State (women)."
What do you guys think about this? Being an avid NHL fan, it sounds like they're riding on the success of the NHL's winter hockey classics (which have been pretty awesome to say the least) but the fact that UM is playing makes it a draw for me.. I'll probably purchase 2 student tickets, as it's just $10 apiece.
Good teams = great idea of College Hockey
The NHL got the idea from college, not the other way around. The Cold War was almost certainly what triggered the NHL's interest.
a pre-season nhl game in vegas in like 1999... pre-dated the game in EL.
I'll be there. I've got friends and an old lady that go to Sconnie and we'll be tying one on before the game. Wisconsin is a great university and a great campus. I can't wait for the game. Hopefully Michigan can win at Camp Randall twice next year.
I'm definately gonna be there...no UM student ticket prices though so it looks like I will be paying handsomely for those.
