The package includes the Mariucci Classic and the first round of the WCHA playoffs, for a total of 23 or 24 games. At a per-game cost of about five bucks for the best hockey in town (and there's a lot of hockey here!) this is a bargain. Prices for staff and public tickets are considerably higher, but given the quality of the hockey I think it's still the best deal around (which is why Paula and I have had Gopher season tickets since 1980). -- Erik
