Actually, I just said they seem to draw well for a club team, not that UNLV draws North Dakota numbers. I can't find any actual data for their attendance, but if -- IF -- they went D-1, that would only improve, right?
And I never said social media presence means they're going Division I, just noted that's impressive for ACHA. Whomever runs it is certainly aiming for bigger things than club.
For a club team? They have maybe a few hundred fans each game. Check out their live streams on YouTube. That rink sits less than 300, and that's pretty full but outside of that there isn't even a ring or two of people around the glass.
That's pretty low end for ACHA D1. Minot State, Liberty, Arizona, Ohio, and others all are in actual arenas and have attendance figures in with a fourth digit...
