Arizona Wildcats Hockey

Thank you for such a fun night for two great organizations! Our rescue fur baby loved it and behaved beautifully!

The seats were great, right behind the bench, center ice. Unfortunately, the team blocked most of the ice so we ended up moving up a couple of rows. Next time we'll get seats on the end my the goal, on the glass.

Game was a blast, had front row seating :) Wild cats kicked but!

Wildcats did NOT bring it. Very sad game. I have to hand it to ASU, even though I am not a fan. They were the only reason the game was worth watching.

We parked at the TCC for 8 bucks and walked over to El Minuto for a great Mexican dinner at 6PM. Got back to the arena for the 7:30 game with plenty of time to spare. Great entertainment and fun for the whole family. Had tickets in section 204, row AA. Had a rail right in the field of view but we were able to move up a row after the game started. Beer and wine are on the expensive side at $8 for 16 oz domestic beer and the same price for a small cup of so-so wine.

My brother and I have been going to Icecats games for over 12 years and we love it. This year was the first time that we have ever been approached by security at the convention center and told we had to leave just seconds after the game had ended. There were a lot of people at the game and we were only waiting around to let some of them clear out before we tried to make our way out. The security guard was rude and treated us like we were commiting some kind of crime. This is not going to stop me from attending games in the future, I think that security guard just needs to calm down a little bit.

Great Game just wish the cats won, great great game can't wait to go again

I don't know anything about hockey but love going to games. Each time i learn more about the game. Great atmosphere!!

We had fun, would have been better if they had won !!!!

Id make it to a UofA hockey game over any other sporting event in Tucson. Lots of action, great seats and atmosphere is kid friendly. Never a dull moment.

I don't know what happened to U of A Hockey but Friday nights' game was the first hockey game I've been to in many years and I could not believe how uninteresting the game was. Boring. Not because of the players, they did a great job, but the way the game was handled by the announcer made it boring. Heck what happened to calling the players by name and reporting outloud what was happening. I heard afterward that UA Hockey had gone thru some rough times but I never imagined it would end up this bad. Sorry fans but you are getting ripped off.

The service when getting these tickets was awesome ... thx

Wow--never seen so much outre fighting at a hockey match. As it was my FIRST UA game, I was less than impressed and saddened, as fighting is usually a mark of a weak team that cannot compete well. Watching a valiant team lose is better than watching the best teams behave badly. I note ASU has seven players with Canadian roots, and the laughter in their body language said it all Saturday night as the on-ice fights ensued...was this representative of Ice Cats skill? Or was it a marketing ploy? The crowd responded like they were at WWW. I wondered at one point whether these ice fights were staged, as it was only the Arizonans getting into it. Really? Must we behave badly? Most embarrassing was seeing the Sun Devils--albeit playing a bit 'dirty'--able to sucker our Ice Cats into losing control; fist-beating other players is a measure of emotional weakness and I was horrified watching ASU manipulate the Cats' so. On a brighter note, there were some GREAT moves from both teams! I fell in love with our Goalie--he was just superb. I was so proud of his efforts in the eye of ASU's storm; when UA focused on playing, they were just fantastic to watch! You guys have excellent moves, practice those! Hockey, gotta love it--warts 'n all. Go Cats!

The hockey games between Arizona and Arizona State were amazing, for sure. The hockey was at a high level and the intensity of the games was sky-high. Highly recommended.

This is the best thing you can do in this area for the money.It's loud,crazy,and just plain fun.

We unknowingly attended the Bark and Puck night. A hockey arena is NOT a place for dogs...of any size, and we LOVE dogs. They were scared, confused, cold, and could not get secure footing. Dollar dog night was a bust. The dogs were cold, tasted as if they went right from the fridge to the bun. The arena was empty for the first period. A few trickled in by the second period. By the third, the place was packed. Now we know why. The aggressiveness of the players and action on the ice was truly elevated in that last period. We'll show up late next time too. This venue desperately needs a jumbo-tron to show replays. Its like watching sports in the 50's. TCC needs to drop a few bucks and modernize this facility. In addition, since U of A basketball was out of town, how about bringing the pep band to fire up the crowd. Would have made the event WAY more enjoyable. Never-the-less - Wildcats for the Win. Can't wait to go see another game!

Ice Cats overpowered Utah. Upgrade to seating really made the game more enjoyable.

The game was fun and exciting. Kids had a great time

Nothing special in the first period, ties 0-0. Things picked up as ASU scored on a power play and by the third period, ASU looked as though they would run away with it 4-0. TEHN everything changed. The crowd started to chat UofA really loud and the Wildcats scored their first goal. It seemed like a comeback was too far out and the Wildcats just started playing REALLY rough as though they had nothing to loose. UofA scored again and the crowd roared but still two goals behind a tie seemed doubtful. Then in the last 2 min of play, the Wildcats scored again! The crowd went wild but it still seemed doubtful they could tie because there was only 90 seconds left. HOWEVER, the wildcats pressed hard and managed to get that tie shot past the goalie. The crowd went WILD and they were into overtime! 5 min of intense play went by so fast and there was no score! That brought it to a shoot out which I have never seen. Each team had 5 chances to score one on one against the goalie and in the end, the best goalie won! Wildcats by SHOOT OUT. Most exciting hockey game I've ever been to!

Amazing experience. Great food. Awesome team spirit!!!

It was a great game! Wildcats won in OT. The location of our seats in section 105 was pretty good.

Game was okay. Nice to see larger crowd. My complaint is the level of music broadcast over the huge arena speakers which was much to loud prior to,and during the game. The music blasted our eardrums way beyond the acceptable hearing levels. Talking to several other folks and vendors, all agreed that the blasting of noise was just to loud. Attendance was low for the other games we have attended and I would suspect that the noise level of what they call music blasted from the speakers becomes unbearable. Even the announcer was much to loud. The Pep Band was trying to play during the game at appropriate moments and fun to hear. Unfortunately the arena speakers continued to blast unbearably over the Pep Band. We will no longer attend any more intercollegiate hockey games.

Exciting from the beginning. Ohio aggressive action made the game fun to watch.

This was a really exciting game despite the lack of scoring until the end of the game. Lots of close shots, great saves and plenty of action! The one weird thing was that the Humane Society was having a fundraiser at the game so people were encouraged to bring their dogs to the game! I don't think there were any "accidents" but there was plenty of barking when the crowd got loud.

The hockey game was fun! The seats were good and the fans were awesome. Too bad U of A didn't win. I will be going back for another game in the near future.

Great game, great team, great venue. Too bad UofA sucks, it would have been a better game.

We had a blast and our seats were FANTASTIC! Always love the excitement of hockey games. Even though we lost, ahem, didn't even score, we still had a great time cheering on our Icecats!

The game was awesome! Fun, exciting, energetic! The venue, however, could use some improvements. The seats in the general seating areas are horrible. They are uncomfortable, small, and too close together. There was only one person working at one of the snack bar areas. The line was long and slow because of this making many spectators miss the opening of the game.

Great seats, up close and personal with hockey players.

The seats were ok, still could see everything even though we were in the nose bleeds. U of A sucks at hockey but it was still really fun. They run out of popcorn quick!

Great game even though the team we were rooting for lost in the end, good game though. I just wish the oppsing team's family and friends would be seated at a separate part of the auditorium, the entire game they kept making fun of the team my family was going for, which isn't too big of a deal it just got extremely annoying. Awesome fight at the end on the rink (I was so looking forward to!) and loved the Wildcat spirit! I'm definitely going back next season, not to mention the UofA vs ASU game in February!

Event was great,ASU and U of A rivalry is good. More variety of food would be nice.. Some healthy food would be good too..

New seats are nice but space is very limited. You have to be a dinosaur if you plan on using the drink holders. They are way too far back in the seat and your neighbor better not move or else your drink will spill.

I don't care if you are a hockey fan or not. You have to see one of these games. This was my 1st college hockey game and my worry was it wouldn't be near what I have seen in the NHL. They proved me wrong. These guys are talented as all get out and play harder than most Pros do. The sweet thing is you can afford to sit right down on the glass at these games and if you have never been down on the glass you have no idea what you're missing. Even our 2 year old girl is in love with it. Now every time were watching hockey she just runs around chanting Hockey! Hockey! Hockey! We took all 3 of our children expecting to have to leave early and that was hardly the case. We all loved it and will be back!

great game.... down to the last second (Literally) !!! Unfortunate loss for the Wildcats with 1 second left on the clock.

The IceCats played hard The ASU fans were rude TCC is showing its age The Wildcat Fans made the event fun

I would definitely recommend to go see the wildcats play. The scores was 9 - 0. They played awesome.

I've been going to hockey games, on and off, since the late 1950's, and am a Chicago Blacjk Hawk fan. My wife and I watch two periods of the game last Jannuary 9. It was focused and interesting University play. We left after two periods because the interior temperature was the coldest I can ever remember for an indoor Hockey game. There were few fans in attendance, indicating little effort of U of A athletic program to promote Hockey though I'd prefer it to all other university sports. It seems strange that TCC was without any heat, and even in sweaters and jeans it was very cold. I never remember anything like this is decades of Black Hawk hockey. Of course, the stands had large numbers, sometimes fully booked.Attendance was pitiful last Thursday.

had a good time, easy pick for the tickets and parking

Game was very entertaining. The team needs to be promoted more on TV and radio to increase crowd size.

I was really disappointed in the University of Arizona student body for booing the ASU players as well as yelling "YOU SUCK!" at them. I am a U of A student and I feel embarrassed for our school and the students' lack of maturity and sportsmanship. It is one thing to have "pride" in the school, but it is a completely different thing to be unsportsmanlike.

First game my 11 year old son attended. We had a great time and are considering season tickets next year. Great father son time.

The game was awesome itself, however I wish profanity was not the only grounds for a person to be removed or relocated at the game. There were a group of guys who were very obviously intoxicated and extremely rowdy. I'm all for supporting your team, but they went above and beyond the line. They were told on three separate occasions to stop doing something or another by security, yet they were not ever told to move, especially when where they were doing all of this, was not their actual seats. Their behavior caused two separate families to leave and I wish this was something security took more seriously because we all paid for our tickets, just like these guys did.

Great game and Great seats!! Doing it again on the 8th of December.

First time attending since moving to Tucson from NE. I enjoyed good hockey, a nice venue and thought the base ticket price and facility charge were reasonable. What really starts to detract from the value of the whole experience includes a $4 convenience charge per ticket, 8 dollar parking fee, $8 for a beer, $5 for an order of nachos and $4 for a soft drink (none served in a quantity that would justify the steep price). I was looking forward to attending home games on a more regular basis, possibly even become a season ticket holder for my local team. The add-on charges make the cost prohibitive, however, and really makes it feasible to attend the occasional game or two.
