What kind of travelling contigent do we get in the Florida tournament each year? Is there good alumni attendance down there?
Just curious.
I don't have the answer, but I'll ask another question: Is Cornell the nominal home team throughout the tournament? It would be nice to have the last line change.
I was there in '00 and the Cornell contingent was fairly small. Lots of hockey parents making a Florida vacation out of it, a bunch of local alumni and some other Cornell hockey nuts that realized that this was a good road trip or who were spending the winter break in the area anyway. Both Maine and Ohio State had more fans, but OSU was probably helped by its football team being in the Outback Bowl in nearby Tampa. The Cornell Club of Florida hosted a pre-game meal at the rink each night for a charge of about $15 per person if I remember correctly. The food was mediocre but it was a good opportunity to meet fellow Cornellians.
