The game is starting the 2nd overtime period vs. Michigan-Dearborn. 2-2 right now. Win or lose, well done to this team
Club hockey....not affiliated with ISU athletics....so no CyTVIs this televised or available on cyTV?
Is this televised or available on cyTV?
Why can't we make this team a full Iowa State sports team competing in Division 1?
Hockey is the one sport where the geographic location of Ames is actually to our advantage.
I actually think hockey could work in Ames. Yeah the state doesn’t produce much talent, but if ISU could start a program and an invested interest From the alumni and school. Interest In the sport would grow. All you need is high schools to start picking it up as a varsity sport like in the 60s for Minnesota.No, it's really not. The state is quite lacking in terms of hockey talent and the surrounding states that cultivate hockey more closely already have a plethora of teams with better locations and history to keep it there.
Next hockey is an expensive sport. I went to school at UND and their program costs 4.5 million dollars to run. Now at a hockey crazy school like there, they manage to make most of that back but I HIGHLY doubt that to be the case at ISU. Basically the only schools to have joined the D1 ranks in recent history have had some mega donors, 100 million in Penn States case, fund the whole operation
Finally, you'd be banking on an invite from the Big 10 for conference, something I'm skeptical that would be forthcoming. NCHC absolutely would refuse, leaving the WCHA which is an abomination of travel, stretching from Alabama to Alaska.
Yeah, it was 2-1 when ISU pulled the goalie and Minot got a lucky shot empty net goal with 1.3 seconds left.3 Minot
