To say that the Golden Gophers women's hockey is the only team with it's own rink is false. Ohio State's women's team uses the old hockey arena on campus as their own, as the men's hockey team has moved to the Schottenstein Center. It is however the only women's hockey team to have rink built for it.--Colslax 09:32, 17 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"The arrangement also allows the University of Minnesota Hockey teams easy access to both NHL and Olympic ice depending on their weekly opponent." The men's hockey team has NEVER played an actual game in Ridder Arena. It's way too small.

Right, but they use the facility for practices when their road opponent has NHL-sized ice.Gopherbone (talk) 03:26, 7 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
