Is that the only renovation going on? They talk about the renovation improving the fan experience but I don't see how a new ice surface does that.

Chalk it up to crappy reporting.

Wow, they are putting in ice! So exciting. They put the ice in every year. Maybe the ice will tilt toward the opposing teams goal to improve scoring, which would excite the fans for sure, because we might win.

Lame "article" and a waste of time.

I think it's a while new plant

They're redoing the whole system, not just pouring a new ice sheet.

Nope, board has been pretty lame this summer. Maybe in a few weeks others will start to chime in.

New boards and glass too

Looks nice! Hopefully new is good for us this year and will bring us some wins!

Anybody get a look at the team yet? Has to be interesting. 3-4 extra dmen, 4 goalies, new assistant coaches.

I wish wmu was more consistent with its logos from sport to sport. I thought we were moving to the shadow bronco, so was surprised to see this at center ice. I like it, but that logo looks like the one we had a few years ago, and then changed.

WMU issued a notice a few weeks ago that the W and Bronco head is the logo they're going to use consistently now. They want to combine the distant past (W) with the recent past (Bronco head), academics (W) with athletics (Bronco head).

I assume by consistent, they mean football is still going to use the shadow Bronco head.

Personally, I like just the Bronco head.

I'm excited to see what out large talented senior class can accomplish this year as they fight for a pro contract.

Thanks but those inter-squads really don't show a thing. In previous years, some of the standouts in the inter-squads had no playing time during the seasons.

Would be nice to see some other Seniors besides Dries show up this year.
