That would be OUTSTANDING. I am a graduate of WSU. Actually Weber
State College and while we were well known for Basketball (many
regional NCAA Tourneys) I never expected to hear that they were
looking into hockey! A lot of things have changed since I was
there. I hope that they follow through and do indeed start a
program. There would definately be a fan base since the Salt Lake
Eagles of IHL fame are no longer.
Where on campus is the Ice Sheet situated?
I hope you will keep us updated on this!! Thanks....
