Apparently you do not attend many hockey games at VCA.

They keep very good records of attendence.

OK, Ohio State spent $424,350 on men's hockey last year for operating expenses. I'm assuming that doesn't include scholarship money or coach's salaries, which the US Department of Education doesn't itemize by sport.

I still think hockey could very easily turn a profit at the 7-8 thousand attendance mark--even with a higher proportion of lower cost student tickets, and I'm willing to bet that it's either turning a profit right now or is damn near turning a profit right now which is why the AD seems so complacent about it's slide into the abyss.

Average attendance has been 4282 per game this year. Assuming a rough ballpark figure of 282 unpaid, 500 students ($6) 500 groups of ten or more ($4) and 3,000 adult tickets ($11), that's $38,000 in ticket revenue per game. Times that by the 18 home games, and the program has grossed $684,000 in ticket sales alone. That's before counting any concession money, or radio television revenue.

not off the top of my head, womens expenses are over 1.4m so im assuming the total expenses for mens is equal to or greater than that....

I'm going by the US Department of Education's website which has the budget numbers for the last fiscal year.

RedHawks don't let Buckeyes spoil their Senior Night

Miami scores three goals in a span of nine minutes in the first period in 4-3 victory.

OXFORD ? It's true that Miami University's Ryan Jones and Justin Mercier, the top goal-scoring duo in college hockey, each spearheads a RedHawk line that packs a punch.
But as the Ohio State Buckeyes found out Friday night, Feb. 29, the relatively new line of Nathan Davis, Andy Miele and Jarod Palmer isn't too shabby, either.

I love it when the announcers don't realize we can hear what they are saying during "commercials breaks" when they don't broadcast them on line. I keep holding my breath for them to say something they shouldn't over the air.

I believe they know and don't give a shit who hears them.

Not sure how we missed this thread but I can't say Im a hockey guy....

However, the same rules apply to this thread...the coach bashing stops now.

If you want to scream for change, do it elsewhere.
