Thank you students!!!

As a long time hockey fan (1978 was my freshman year and first game) I want to thank the enthusiastic students that came to the exhibition game. That was by far the best student section for an exhibition game I can remember. It definitely pumped up the team and clearly was a big advantage. Now keep it up throughout the season and it could be a very special one. You do make a difference!

yah, I noticed the same thing. really changes the vibe of the place, and has to make it hard for visitors.
especially liked the singing--sorta like the hardcore euro soccer fans do.
more students! more singing!

Agreed! I got there during the first intermission and was shocked by both the new paint/scoreboards and the size of the crowd. I ran up to the student section and starting singing along! I loved the fact that they sang all 7 Ay-Zigs after the last goal. Now if we can just get the arena staff to play the fight song after we score....

Great student section. However, the chant of USA, USA, USA was just lame. Half our team is Canadian and we even have a Latvian native on the team. Made no sense to me. Thanks for the great enthusiasm but please ditch this chant. I am assuming it was because we were playing a Canadian college team but still.
