Icepack Partner With Ticket Sauce For A Better Fan Experience

9/27/2023

2 Comments

 
The Icepack is excited to launch a partnership with Ticket Sauce.  By moving to this new platform the Icepack will deliver an improved fan ticketing experience. The best news is that unlike traditional ticket platforms with Ticket Sauce there are zero user fees.  If you have already bought tickets through our website, look for an email from Ticket Sauce with your new tickets, they will automatically be transferred over.  We anticipate less and less availability of walk-up tickets so we highly encourage purchasing ahead of time.  In particular we expect the UNC game to sell-out in advance.  If you are bringing a fan 17 and under, they must be ticketed as well, however, there is a category that provides free tickets through Ticket Sauce.  Season Ticket Members will continue to utilize their wristbands.  Purchase your tickets here.

Icepack Insider: Pirates Humbled, Captains Named, Flames Next

It's been a big week for the Icepack. From putting up a football score in their home opener to naming the team's tangible leaders, a lot went down behind the doors of Invisalign Arena.

Here's the latest scoop on what's been going on, as well as a look into what will likely be the team's biggest challenge this season.

Icepack Opens Season With 17-3 Home Win vs. ECU

​Season openers are fun regardless of the final score. That being said, it’d be tough to open the season in a better way than the Icepack did last Friday.

The Icepack kicked their 2023-24 campaign off with a bang, dismantling the visiting East Carolina Pirates by a whopping score of 17-3. Yes, you read that right. 17.

It was a team effort all night long, as 15 separate skaters managed to record a point. 12 players notched multi-point games, including this week's "'Primo X Hockey' Player of the Week", junior forward Thomas McEneny (three goals, one assist).

Yellow skate laces are a rite of passage for the team's rookies, as first-year players are only allowed to sub them out for the traditional white laces once they record their first goal with the team. FIVE different rookies managed to get their yellow laces off during Friday's home opener, including Nick Shook, Aiden Brenner, Holden Koufman, Caid Cox, and Spencer Harman.

A massive night for the Icepack, and a season opener to remember for the players and 1,500+ fans in attendance.

Team Names Captain, Three Alternates For 2023-24 Group

During practice this week, the team revealed their captaincy for the upcoming season, including one primary and three alternates to serve as the leaders of the up-and-coming Icepack squad. Here's a quick look at the letter representatives:

CAPTAIN - Garrett Auriene (#17)
  • Senior Forward
  • 94 career games played
  • 33 goals, 55 assists, 88 points
ALTERNATE CAPTAIN - Drew Bresingham (#14)
  • Senior Forward
  • 72 career games played
  • 13 goals, 15 assists, 28 points
ALTERNATE CAPTAIN - Alex James (#15)
  • Junior Defenseman
  • 28 career games played
  • 7 goals, 20 assists, 27 points
ALTERNATE CAPTAIN - Jackson Cowen (#4)
  • Senior Defenseman
  • 70 career games played
  • 2 goals, 16 assists, 18 points

The newly announced, grizzled leadership group will attempt to lead the Icepack to new team heights this season.

Icepack Ships Off to Lynchburg

While East Carolina may not have posed much of a threat to the Icepack's high-octane talent, their next matchup, the Division I Liberty Flames, is equally as bolstered. In what has become an annual matchup between these two teams, the Icepack heads to Lynchburg, Virginia in attempt to take down a perennial powerhouse in their own building.

This matchup isn't one that's favored the Icepack in the past. Since the two teams first faced off in the 2020-21 season, NC State has lost all three matchups, tallying up to a combined score of 24-9. This is no indictment on the Icepack, however, as the Flames are widely seen as one of the best club hockey organizations in the nation. It all starts with the Flames' top team, who has has gone 50-24-2 since the 2020-21 season, good for a .658 win percentage. 

While the team has yet to pull out a win against this particular Liberty group, this is most certainly one of their best chances to do so. The Flames come into Friday's matchup yet to play a game, meanwhile the Icepack will be arriving firing on all cylinders and riding high from their home opener. Combine that with
the Icepack trotting out one of the most talented rosters the program has ever seen, and it may just be enough to shock the college hockey world on Friday night.

Vibes are high around the 2023-24 Icepack right now, and for good reason. New and old faces alike have been congregating at Invisalign Arena for the past two weeks with immense excitement for the season ahead. The team has worked tirelessly in order to get ready for the season opener on Friday night against the East Carolina Pirates, nobody can deny that.

However, at the end of the day, hockey is fun. It's meant to be a release valve from the everyday life stressors, ranging from aerospace engineering courses to part-time jobs and everything in between. For that reason, I decided to take the fun route during Icepack Media Day on Tuesday, asking each of the 29 players a interesting hypothetical question. Enjoy.

1) Would you rather have hands for feet or feet for hands?

Ricky Frosch (#5)
Defense /
 Long Island, NY / Grad Student / Physiology
  • “Hands for feet, because if monkeys can do it, then so can I”
Nick Shook (#27)
Forward / Eastover, NC / Freshman / Engineering
  • ​“Hands for feet, because your hands are more stable than your feet”
Holden Koufman (#29)
Forward / Winston-Salem, NC / Freshman / Engineering
  • “Hands for feet, because I could get more stable balance”
Eric Daniel (#30)
Goalie / Raleigh, NC / Grad Student / Electrical Engineering
  • “Hands for feet because I could grab stuff with my feet”
Garrett Auriene (#17)
Forward / Youngsville, NC / Senior / Information Technology
  • “Hands for feet, because two more hands is OP”​​

2) Would you rather never be able to taste food or see color?

Drew Breshingham (#14)
Forward / Oswego, IL / Senior / Environmental Tech & Management
  • “Never see in color because I couldn’t live without food, I love peanut butter too much”
Noah Scherff (#3)
Defense / Greensboro, NC / Freshman / Sport Management
  • “Never be able to taste food, because I could eat disgusting things that I normally don't eat”
Caid Cox (#11)
Defense / Livingston, MT / Freshman / Aerospace Engineering
  • “I can go without seeing in color, because I love food and being able to taste food”
Spencer Harman (#19)
Forward / Vernon Hills, IL / Freshman / Computer Science
  • “Never see in color, because I’d rather be able to taste steak than see the bleachers in color”​​

3) ​Would you have a better chance to survive zombie or robots?

Joey Gouveia (#21)
Forward / Raleigh, NC / Junior / Elementary Education
  • “Zombies, because they’re slow and probably easier to kill”
Aiden Brenner (#12)
Forward / Amherst, NH / Sophomore / Business Administration
  • “Zombies, robots would annihilate us but we might have a slight chance with zombies”
Kade McConaghy (#6)
Defense / Charlotte, NC / Sophomore / Business Administration
  • “Zombies, because they’re not bulletproof”
Addison Lawrence (#33)
Goalie / Cary, NC / Sophomore / Business Administration
  • “Zombies, because I feel like you can get away from them quicker”

4) ​Would you rather always have an itch or always smell bad?

Jackson Cowen (#4)
Defense / Cary, NC / Senior / Sport Management
  • "Always have an itch, because I want people to not hate being next to me”
Zack Robinson (#7)
Forward / Apex, NC / Junior / Sport Management
  • “Always have an itch, because always having an itch only affects me, smelling bad affects other people”
Nick Librizzi (#13)
Defense / Raleigh, NC / Sophomore / Sport Management
  • “Always smell bad, because realistically I probably already smell bad”
Scott Daniel (#25)
Forward / Cary, NC / Freshman / Business
  • “Always have an itch, because I don’t want to smell bad in class”

5) If you could bring three things with you on a desert island, what would you bring and why?

Alex James (#15)
Defense / Lakeville, MN / Junior / Finance
  • “Ricky [to laugh at/with], Hockey stick [to practice], and headphones [to pretend I’m not there]”
Andrew Throndson (#18)
Defense / Apex, NC / Freshman / Business
  • “Sword [protection], water [hydration], and peanut butter [protein]”
Jackson Strong (#10)
Defense / Georgia, VT / Freshman / Aerospace Engineering
  • “Cows [steaks, burgers and clothes], fire [warmth and cooking], and a knife [protection... and to slaughter the cows]”
Isaac Tawyer (#1)
Goalie / Danvers, MA / Junior / Industrial Engineering & Economics
  • “Emery Oliver [various reasons], my PC [entertainment], and a stable internet connection [entertainment]”

6) Do you think you’d have a better chance at getting 10 rushing yards in an NFL game or 2 three pointers in an NBA game?

Emery Oliver (#22)
Forward / Raleigh, NC / Junior / Electrical Engineering
  • “Two threes, because I'm dirty from the stripe”
Cameron Lohr (#26)
Forward / Geneva, SUI / Sophomore / Textile Technology
  • “Rushing yards, because I got legs”
Philip Bailey (#23)
Forward / Holly Springs, NC / Junior / Bioprocessing Science
  • “Two threes, because I was gonna go to the league before I picked up a hockey stick”
Thomas McEneny (#9)
Forward / Wake Forest, NC / Junior / Business Management
  • ​“Two threes, because I’ve always been a shooter”

7) If you could have one superpower, what would it be and why?

Luke Jagielski (#16)
Defense / Apex, NC / Senior / Marketing
  • “Controlling time, because I could do whatever I want whenever I want and it's more powerful than other people’s superpowers”
Chase Williams (#24)
Forward / Holly Springs, NC / Sophomore / Entrepreneurship
  • “Flying, because I can travel whenever I want to... I’d be in the Bahamas tomorrow”
Logan Todd (#28)
Forward / Raleigh, NC / Junior / Parks, Recreation and Tourism
  • “Flying, because I don’t want to walk to class”
Zach Herman (#8)
Forward / Holly Springs, NC / Sophomore / Business Entrepreneurship
  • “Flying, because I hate traveling”
