So, I'll write about the flip side:
Pennsylvania owns a gorgeous (if not outdated) rink but can't put any number
of colleges' programs in it. We tried Penn, Villanova, Temple, . . . <sigh>.
Villanova rents ice from a township rink in the western 'burbs. Temple's
program folded.
Drexel rents ice from Penn, but isn't D-1.
Are there other college rinks out there without a team to house?
When I played high school hockey in Omaha, we all played at the Ak-Sar-Ben
(municipal rink, basketball arena, thoroughbred track, etc.). I don't know
how much the popularity of hockey has grown in the last 20+ years, but if
UNO is starting up a program, it must have. There must be more rinks now.
There sure are plenty of nice, flat spaces to build them on :-).
Jill.
