Good article:

"Will building new college hockey arenas become new trend as teams try to keep pace with one another."

Speaking of “fresh,” two programs opened new arenas last weekend: UConn and its new Toscano Family Ice Forum (kudos for keeping the “Ice Forum” nomenclature that the Huskies used at Freitas) and Sacred Heart’s new Martire Family Arena. Add in Mullett Arena at Arizona State and Colorado College’s Ed Robson Arena last season, and you’ve got four beautiful new venues for college hockey. The reality is that student-athletes want THE best facilities, not just in which to play, but most importantly to train. The best weight facilities mean a lot of these players, which, to me, also doesn’t always mean a new building.

This is great for the sport and for the fans. But how do you think these new homes will affect – or have affected – these clubs?........
