But I'm just like curious, like, what are you looking at around college hockey? And is there anything you can kind of follow or is everyone just figuring it out at the same exact time? So it's just all up in the air in that sense.

Ben BarrGUEST
Yeah, I think, like, no one really knows exactly what, like, I mean, I think it's probably no secret the power of four or five or whatever you call it, like, the Big Ten schools out here at schools, like, you know, it's probably, like, BC, Providence, UConn, to be honest with you, because their athletics department is playing in a, you know, bigger sandbox, so to speak, as far as their... you know, as far as other teams in their athletics department.

Ben BarrGUEST
There's definitely schools that are just like, okay, like a school like North Dakota, Denver, they are all in, like their hockey team is what brings in the majority of their revenue in their athletics department, just similar to us, right? So I don't know if there's like really a model because there isn't a, hey, this is the amount, this is where their resources are allocated.

Ben BarrGUEST
Our schools are also different as far as, you know, the economics of what's going on in the in the university as a whole, you know, and whether it's Denver or Maine, you know, like it's You know, like the North Dakota thing is obviously they have a 12,000 seat arena or 11,000 or whatever.

Ben BarrGUEST
So it's, you know, like the scale is a little different as far as the revenue that they can generate on a night in and night out basis.

Dimitri ChambersHOST
Sometimes, you know, you've always talked about almost being like counterintuitive to the cause and, I'm just wondering what, if anything, did you learn about yourself from last season as a coach, as a communicator, as a leader that you might be looking to improve upon and take into this new season?
