University of Alabama at Huntsville also plays DI hockey

If you look at their roster then you will see only 1 player is from Huntsville, AL. However, you will notice that he played for the Sarnia Legionnaires which is a Canadian junior hockey team in Sarnia, Ontario. Even though Sarnia Legionnaires is listed as his "previous school," I don't know how much "schooling" is provided by these junior hockey teams. I do know that players are eligible to play junior hockey if they are between the ages of 16-20. As far as why UAH decided to sponsor hockey, I believe the AD at the time said it was a great way to expose the university to the rest of North American and even the world (since this year's roster has 1 player from England).

Should the ACC bring in Penn State & Ohio State for fencing? -- HOO86 03/24/2016 8:31PM

JHU has a D3 fencing team... -- Calamitous 03/26/2016 07:34AM

I don't know. Just hard to see rust and corn looking down on anything. -- HOO86 03/26/2016 10:25AM

Um, well, I guess it has been a year now since we put 2 in the final four -- SeaBlue 03/26/2016 2:10PM

FWIW... both the SEC and B1G thumb their nose at the other 3 P5s.... -- Calamitous 03/26/2016 1:22PM

Why do you say this? I think we mostly thumb our nose AT (not with) the SEC** -- SeaBlue 03/26/2016 2:04PM

Maybe the term "thumbing nose" isn't as appropriate... -- Calamitous 03/26/2016 2:46PM

Sounds like you've been reading Ohio State message boards... ** -- SeaBlue 03/26/2016 5:17PM

Believe it or not, I've never visited an OSU board... -- Calamitous 03/26/2016 6:56PM

I was just taking a swipe at tOSU there -- SeaBlue 03/27/2016 1:58PM

Yes. All of the ACC schools were used to the Pep Band. -- HOO86 03/26/2016 2:00PM

Y'all had a GREAT Pep Band. Let college students be who they are; -- daveinop 03/27/2016 09:02AM

Side question: Why does ASU have a hockey team? -- Mr. Touchdown 03/25/2016 12:22PM

A major Donor is paying for ASU to have it. -- HOO86 03/25/2016 12:40PM

Made their fortune in the hair styling industry? ** -- EDGEMAN 03/25/2016 2:05PM

Even though the Big Ten doesn't sponsor fencing -- VTHokie2000 03/25/2016 10:52AM

Don't know. Might be easier with SEC since also ESPN. ** -- HOO86 03/25/2016 12:41PM

Yes, you are correct and assuming that the ACCN doesn't end up with NBC ** -- VTHokie2000 03/25/2016 1:07PM

We could also invite Northwestern for women's fencing. -- Maroon Baboon 03/24/2016 9:20PM

Missed that one, but along those lines Stanford too. ** -- HOO86 03/24/2016 9:25PM
