I schools (don't think > that's totally accurate, but close). This does impact playing style. I'm curious as to what the actual distribution of Olympic size ice sheets *is* in DivI college hockey. The press packet accompanying the announcement of UNH's new Arena (now under construction) noted that this would be "the sixth [college rink] in the nation to feature an Olympic- sized ice surface of 200 x 100 feet instead of the standard 200 x 85 feet." So where are they ?? Mariucci Arena (Minnesota) Mullins Center (UM-Amherst) Dane County Coliseum (Wisconsin; recently expanded) ??? ??? "new" Snively Arena (New Hampshire) I'm pretty certain Bright Hockey Center at Harvard is 200 x 85, and I'm fairly certain that none of the ECAC rinks are Olympic-sized (even the new Cheel Arena at Clarkson is "only" 200 x 85 feet. Are there any 200 x 100 feet sheets in the CCHA ?? I'm guessing that the other two Olympic-sized sheets are in the WCHA - perhaps the DECC at UMD, and North Dakota ?? Can someone with better rink sense supply the two "missing rinks" (ohhh, bad pun :-) Are there actually more than 5 now in use ?? Cheers from Maryland - Jim
