We can get 300-400 people here in Walter Brown. Knowing the bounces, playing in our own rink and the crowd noise from the fans help everybody play better.
People forget that we are predominantly an all-freshman team. When Jack Parker or Dennis Wolff's freshmen get tired they can fall back on their older players. I don't have a strong reliance on upperclassmen.
The most important thing is our belief that we can play a level game with this team. I want to see people moving around on the ice. It shows that you are loose and confident.
They are a team that is on par ability-wise with Boston College. People miss them due to their tough schedule so far. This will be considered a big game against one of the upper echelon teams in our league.
It's another test for us to be prepared and put our best foot forward. We want people to have a sense that BU comes to play every night.
It's an evolving rivalry. There is enough tradition that it should get people excited. Based on the first game, it should be on its way to becoming another great rivalry.
