Same deal for Yost in Ann Arbor. Directions are good, but the map moves the rink from S. State to Washtenaw.  Looks as if the star is showing some generic central point in AA.  It's a good place to start if you're looking for a fraternity party, but nowhere near any athletic venue.

Yahoo maps is probably ok, but I notice that it seems just the city and state are being fed into the link .  If you can add a street address to the link, it'd be a good first step.

If you mouse over the red star on these maps, you will see that it indicates the center of the city or town in question (not the rink or any other campus location).

The problem is that a lot of campus buildings don't have a street address.  Lynah Rink, Campus Rd, Ithaca, NY turns into a star near Stewart Ave.  And my other example (Air Force) does have a street address fed into the link, but I'm thinking while Air Force says it's in Colorado Springs, it may not actually be in Colorado Springs (much like the Cambridge/Allston distinction), and hence the very wrong star.

Adam, you should probably double-check all the map links with people that actually go to rink on a regular basis.

I usually use the campus maps on the school's website to find the rinks.

This is particularly useful for cases like Princeton, where the school's website says things like "Take the next left... this road is not labeled and has no name, but trust us and take it."

Were there games today???  The schedule on your page seems to show that:

Edit:  It appears fixed now.

And actually, the tv schedule might be wrong...as the Michigan/Quinnipiac game brings up a window that says it's on CSTV...bringing me running excitedly downstairs and and finding that CSTV is now showing women's volleyball. :-( And there is no mention of any hockey on today's CSTV schedule.
And since I'm lazy..how about a general list of all the games on tv in one place instead of a separate window for each game?

The Television popup window now has a link to take you to the entire upcoming TV Schedule ... and that link is also permanently on the front page.

Makes sense for the "location" link for the school but not for the link next to rink and directions thereto...  It may not work for all links to rink locations, as other posters have noted, but yahoomaps will place the red star over a specific address, if you enter that information.  Easy link to create...

Can you make the TV and radio schedule information available in some way that doesn't depend on JavaScript?  (My Mozilla scripting is acting funny at the moment, plus it's considerate web design not to keep people out of parts of your site.)  Also, while you're at it, it'd be nice to add a "GO" button next to the team pull-down menu and point it at a trivial CGI script rather than relying on client-side scripting.  (This is a pet peeve associated with many sites, including USCHO and Loyola's website.)
