Being an Easterner, I find it amazing that this matter is even being
discussed.  Just about every rink in this area responded to the Columbus
tragedy quickly, and I am hard pressed to name an arena without end zone
netting in AHA, ECACHL, or HEA, or any other eastern rink to speak of.
Many of us were stunned to see that Schottenstein lacked netting
especially since its in the same city as the tragedy.

Subject: world arena to add netting at ends


full story (for a while at least) at

article written by CC beat reporter Brian Gomez

announced by CC AD Julie Soreiro who cited the need to increase safety
for hockey fans, the move is a "shared partnership" between the arena &
CC.

Becker arena products out of minnesota is producing the 30 foot high
white nylon mesh nets. Typical costs are in the $90-100K range.

Possibly minnesota, the only other WCHA school without nets might also
install them.

cc will attempt to relocate season ticket holders bothered by the new
netting.
