did you really expect that rope to hold back an entire student body from celebrating the section championship and a state tourney trip?

The glass broke because the players jumped up on it and the fans were all pushing up against it

It's got fair atmosphere compared to the Hockey Palaces of Minnesota. Other than that the place is a total waste of developable space. They should have built another sheet and half at the Graham Complex when they added the forth rink there. The REC Center doesn't have enough parking for one event never mind two or three at once.

On the bright side it is a sheet of ice and some places don't have that! :shock: I find it interesting that Rochester has 6 sheets of ice with only one being a complete venue.

All the games last Saturday and this Thursday and Friday were great.

I never noticed the ice being a factor at all.

Good job by the players coaches officials and administrators it was a great tourney.

I love that semifinal Saturday with the 4 games...

Full houses on finals night it was great and the Bands were awesome.

Graham is better than the Rec. They should play the games at the new Graham arena. The only reason they play it at the Rec is that it's bigger, but Graham is a lot nicer.
