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....
