Costume created by one of the UAH students. Wore it to the UAH volleyball game, got a standing ovation - with the AD and new president in the stands.

That is one of the best costumes ever.

Just shows how little portera understands about the hockey landscape.

http://uahhockey.com/blog/2011/10/24/its-over/ has the full text of the memo if you're curious. I have it because I'm currently a student [hooray second degree].

GFM

Note that the addresses for this memo did not inlcude the parents. At NO time in this process did either portera or brophy attempt to communicate with the parents.

That's right. I'm surprised Brophy was even talking about the budget of a club team, considering that the whole point of club is that it's not part of the athletic department. So this $156,000 (?!??!) budget Portera mentioned...is that part of the UAH athletic department? Are they going to hire a coach and recruit and schedule? What are we talking about here?

They are so naive to think we can just flip a switch to club and have everything fall into place.

Can the UAH Athletics department even be connected to a club team?

My only hope is that Derf didn't actually pay to get in to that game.

I sicken at the idea of giving those people a dime right now.

Anything is possible, though they're going to have a lot of other club sports beating down the door for similar institutional support.

If UAH club ice hockey is going to be treated like "every other club sport" on campus, their institutional support will consist of a $1,000 grant from the Student Government Association, IF they get a charter approved.

There will be a rally in front of the VBC, in the park from 4:30-6 this Friday before the Ohio State game. We need to keep this issue out in the public eye as the internal word is that the administration assumes there will some initial emotional reaction and then things will die down. We can't let that happen.

Talking to the Governor. And they possibly have the funds almost all lined up to self support the Varsity team? Which sounds pretty similar to how Michigan Tech ended up saving their football program back in 2004. Hang onto your hats here. There's politicians sensing they can earn some easy votes, and there's money involved. Ya ain't dead till they stop skating I say. And if UAB gets into the mix about how they've been handing things for them, things could get interesting.

If this works out that would be awesome. But we still need the new WCHA to get them into the new conference...
