Much like other sports, I think UST is in great position for long-term success. There are 50-60 kids a year from MN that go on to play D1 hockey. Until now, they've only had one option to play in the Twin Cities. Once UST builds a new arena I think it will be a very attractive option for local hockey talent.
Also, in addition to some great conference rivalries, UST can put together an awesome non-conference schedule with the likes of Minnesota, Wisconsin, St. Cloud, etc.
He’s still in the twin cities area so I’d imagine normally he’d be excited to go to some sort of event, game, etc.
