Rating: 4 out of 5by Anonymous on 3/23/13Xcel Energy Center - Saint Paul Rating: 5 out of 5 The WCHA Final 5 Rules
by KamikazeSwami on 3/23/13Xcel Energy Center - Saint PaulAs always, there is truly no other college hockey conference tournament or championship so well attended and enjoyed by all fans at such an excellent facility as the WCHA FInal 5. Why someone's donation to Penn State had to ruin such a fun event in the future is beyond me but it certainly provides insight into all that is wrong with the NCAA and college sports. It's ALL about the almighty dollar with little regard for the fan experience....the people by the way who ACTUALLY SUPPORT the sport itself. Full credit to the WCHA and the Xcel Energy Center! It's been a wonderful event, with mostly passionate and knowledgeable fans who are respectful but entertaining as well. As a Rodent Nation fan, I'll be at the WCHA next year as well...Big Ten Hockey is laughable as a conference! 8)
Rating: 4 out of 5 Last TRUE WCHA Playoff
by icepilot on 3/23/13Xcel Energy Center - Saint PaulSorry to see the Big Ten get greedy and form their own conference. All the hockey fans will lose in the end. The Xcel is a great venue but here are few suggestions: 1) get an organ player 2) make the food and drinks affordable. Gripe....I can get a better beer and pizza outside the X for half the cost. 3) and if one want to see real hockey...put in an olympic size sheet!

by Anonymous on 3/23/13Xcel Energy Center - Saint PaulEverything was good except it was very cold! Had to sit with coat and gloves on. When sitting for several hours at a time watching hockey it was pretty miserable. Most of the people on our section were feeling the same way. We were in Section 203.
Rating: 5 out of 5 WCHA Final Five Tournament
by Gopherguy on 3/20/12Xcel Energy Center - Saint PaulThis is the best hockey tournament the midwest has to offer! Not to mention it's played in one of the best arenas in the nation. Absolutely one of the best times of the year for hockey fans, five games in three days of the best college teams in the midwest. Downtown St. Paul has a lot to offer, I suggest alarys bar on 7th street and jackson. Great memories I'll never forget!

by Sioux7 on 3/19/12Xcel Energy Center - Saint PaulIt was the most spectacular weekend of hockey we have ever seen in our lives!
Rating: 1 out of 5by HorribleHockey on 3/19/12Xcel Energy Center - Saint Paul Generally, the WCHA Championship is a great event. We go most every year. However, this year's Championship (2012) was the worst collegiate hockey we've ever seen. Both Denver and the Sioux looked spent.They played like they didn't even want to be there! Maybe the Semi's took everything out of them and they had nothing left for the Championship Game. It was a pathetic display. We left at the end of the 2nd Period! Ugh!!!!!

Rating: 5 out of 5 F5 event
by toverbo on 3/19/12Xcel Energy Center - Saint PaulThe game was amazing - The staff was great - The facilities - bathrooms were a little bad and the price of beer was a little stiff. I would have consumed a few more at $7 than I did at $9 - in the end they would have gotten more money.
Rating: 3 out of 5 WCHA Championship on Saint Patty's Day
by Proex19744 on 3/19/12Xcel Energy Center - Saint PaulI was hoping one of the Mn teams would have made it to the final. Denver had nothing else in their tank, so they seemed outmatched by the Sioux. St Paul was crazy that night. Let's see how the Sioux does in the Western Regional Tourney this coming week-end against rested and non injured teams.
Rating: 2 out of 5 I gambled... I lost!
by Fred123411 on 3/19/12Xcel Energy Center - Saint PaulHeading into the tournament... I would have been happy to see St Cloud, UMD, or UMN... they all lost, so I was rewarded with a boring game between two teams I could have cared less about. Its the risk I took by buying seats in advance... oh well. The food was terrible. I guess Target Field has spoiled me with the idea that paying $10+ for food at a stadium can actually be worth it.
Rating: 4 out of 5 Final Five fun
by Bodehead on 3/19/12Xcel Energy Center - Saint PaulThe Xcel Energy Center was again a GREAT venue to host the Final Five. The staff and vendors are the friendliest around! Just need the Gophers to win next time around!
Rating: 1 out of 5 Awesome game!
by maroonloon on 3/19/12Xcel Energy Center - Saint PaulThe game should have ended with the best team winning. Seats were not as advertised. Home team was at a different end.

Rating: 4 out of 5 LOVE college hockey
by Puckpup on 3/18/12Xcel Energy Center - Saint PaulThese guys play with such heart...nothing more fun to watch. The surprises are always fun, but The Bulldogs should have left St Paul with the Broadmoor!
Rating: 4 out of 5 WCHA Final Five, Best hockey games to attend!
by afcjr on 3/18/12Xcel Energy Center - Saint PaulAnyone that attends college hockey will attest to the quality of the game. Players seem to play with more passion and motivation than the pros. Although the skill level may not be as refined as professional teams the overall atmosphere on the ice is nothing short of fantastic and the fans are the most friendly and dedicated folks in all of sports. Especially noteworthy are the UND supporters. Through the first three goals by the Gophers the UND fans withstood our most rigorous joking. By the end of the game their chants of celebration echoed throughout the XCel. Congrats to the Sioux. The only reason I did not give this a 5 star rating is the venue. The XCel IS a great place to see hockey, we attend many Wild games there. During the WCHA tournament the replays on the big screen were sporadic at best. Also the staff didn't seem to be prepared as well as they a re for Wild games. Concessions were quite slow Thursday and policing tickets to ensure people were in their respective areas was virtually nonexistent.
