I think SBU should seriously consider building an indoor skate
rink on campus. Expensive, you betcha, but money well spent. SB
could rent out the rink to dozens of junior league hockey teams
all over LI and have numerous events at the school offsetting
expenses associated with building and running the rink. The
Arizona Sun Devils, just last season moved up to the NCAA Div1
team and already had their first win against a ranked opponent.
SB used to play them every year in the club league and had some
great wins...

[quote]Stony Brook Press discusses rink on campus possibilities
with the University
Stony Brook University has no plans to build an on-campus ice
rink despite the success of the ice hockey club and students’
desires for improvements to campus life.
“Hockey is an extraordinarily expensive sport to run,” Stony
Brook University President Samuel L. Stanley Jr. said at a media
conference in February. “Before we can add another expensive
sport like that, we would have to make sure it would make
economic sense.”
“I think the hockey team is awesome,” Stony Brook’s Director of
Athletics Shawn Heilbron said. “I can’t tell you how many people
come up to me and congratulate me on our hockey team, and I say,
‘I wish I could take the credit for them.’” If the team were
NCAA, it would be recognized under the school’s athletics
banner, and Heilbron would be involved with it.
“I think it’ll create sort of a culture and environment that
will keep students on campus for the weekend,” Pete Hall, a
former Stony Brook ice hockey player who graduated from the
university in 1989, said. “I’ve seen it firsthand that some of
the teams we played against that had rinks on campus had
students that stuck around on the weekend, and the hockey rinks
were filled with students.”
Heilbron said that if the school added another men’s team to its
NCAA banner, it would likely need to add three women’s teams to
compensate. He is considering field hockey, rowing and
equestrian as potential women’s teams to add, but he wants to
ensure that any new program would be successful.
“I don’t want to add a sport just to add a sport,” Heilbron
said. “It has to make sense for our program as a whole. We have
to have a facility for them, but we also have to be able to win
and be competitive.”
“Student life on the weekends is dead; everyone goes home,”
senior finance major Susana Polanco said. “There should be more
activities that will make people want to stay on campus.”
Ice skating would be another activity offered by an ice rink at
Stony Brook University.
“I think if you open up recreational ice skating, that would
definitely attract people and help campus life out a bit,”
freshman psychology major Sophie Peterfreund said.[/quote]

Building an Ice Rinx, and competing in the D1 NCAA would be a
huge hit on long island and SB would make money doing so. The
only thing I think that will squash this idea has nothing to do
with Hockey but everything to do with adding three womens D1
sport. Field Hockey, Equestrian and Rowing would be a bust.
I would love nothing more for SB to build a Hockey Rinx like
this one and compete with the likes of BC, BU, Quinnipiac, Rhode
Island.

Hockey at SBU would be a dream and a huge success, but the
finances of the rink itself and women's scholarships on the
other side of it would be a huge financial hit. I see it
happening someday though. I'd personally rather have FBS
football, but the campus as a whole may disagree with me there.
Dream would be SBU has FBS football AND varsity hockey, but
all-in that would likely require a 50% increase overall in the
athletic budget if not more. Not impossible for a school like
SBU, but a big move to make so quickly.

im salivating just from that hockey rink rendition... with the
isles vacating the... island, and the rangers/devils across
rivers, this could be a huge get.
another reason to follow the cornell model.
