A quote from the St. Paul Pioneer Press, yesterday:

"It's a great hockey building," coach Jeff Sauer said. "One of the neat
things is I fought like heck to keep advertising off the dasher boards for at
least this first year, so the rink has a nice, clean look. It looks like a
hockey
rink, not like a billboard."

Good for them.  I hope they can keep it that way.  I was skating at Mariucci
today, and counted about 84 advertisements on the boards, ice, scoreboards, and
various other places.  Yuck.
