While hosting the NCAA Hockey regionals has a positive economic impact for cities, it is not as large as one might suspect. In New England for the 2024 tournament, it is estimated that Providence saw a $1.9M impact and Springfield-MA a $1.1M impact. According to the NCAA, the total combined two-day attendance was 10,172 at the MassMutual Center and 12,823 for the Amica Mutual Pavilion. Hotel revenues were below expectations in Providence. Two fairly close by schools (Boston College and Quinnipiac) making the Providence regional final likely contributed to this as their fans probably just drove in on the two game days and not stayed overnight.

They would definitely draw a standing room only crowd. These local rinks are great. They can be booked from 5AM to 1AM.

Good luck to the Eagles. I have no quarrel with their teams other than a couple of sports.

This is going to be a great final. BC has had a great year. Denver is arguably the most dominant program of the last 10-15 years.
Denver came East and beat BC early in the season.

On today’s The Athletic it referred to our friends to the east as “The Golden Eagles.” A drastic change, or more likely a dumb writer

For those of you who are no so fond of BC you’ll be happy to know that top-seeded (no.1 nationally ranked ) Eagles lost to Denver tonight 2-0 in the final

But I was rooting for Denver and glad to see them win. DU is an example of a school that really finds a nice sports niche between being a contender every year for national titles in hockey and lacrosse.

The classic one-and-done hockey game where the winning goalie makes all the saves he should...and two or three he shouldn't have.
