h3. Name of Concept: New Hockey Rink or Improvements to Season Ticket Holder Process


h3. Overview  of Idea:

As we know with the RIT mens hockey team going division 1 and hopefully the womens team in the near future the need for a new rink and or a new season ticket holder process is quickly coming upon us.  With the mens team selling out quite a number of games thus far and winning the Atlantic Hockey Association again this year some changes need to be done. 

With many season ticket holders being students, faculty and staff the current process has many flaws with little reward for those that pay all their money up front for a seasons worth of games. With a reserved section being in the worst rink location, why would anyone want to sit there the entire season.

With a new updated rink and/or process we can continue to grow our D1 program and look at building a sustainable building that will also enhance the student experience.  Using our creative and innovative nature, a new rink could also be used for other events.

h3. How   this idea leverages current areas of RIT expertise:

With our current D1 team doing very well, we need to give the RIT community as well as the Rochester community the ability to continue to support our hockey teams.  With the womens team going D1 in the future, I think that there will be more support and larger crowds for this group as well.  Many of out alumni talk about the rink and how they support a new rink or expansion and I would hope they would also financially support it as well.

h3. Main   RIT on-campus champion(s) for this idea:

RIT Athletics, Development (for fundraising), season ticket holders for ideas

h3. Additional   on-campus champions willing to collaborate with this individual and   take a lead role in driving the idea:

John Eldridge, Ron Goldberg

h3. How you envision this idea advancing RITís national or global stature in an important or emerging field:

As a D1 team we can build the best facility and be known for that drawing more big name D1 teams to RIT, which will in turn draw bigger crowds.
