    • These projects should be done in conjunction with each other!  Just such a huge wasted opportunity for both parties if they aren't...
    • Would be a huge shame if North Carolina doesn't work with the club hockey team to build an ice sheet as part of this project.  Fit's perfectly with what they're looking for as a potential ancillary project with their new basketball facilities/arena.  A multi purpose arena with decent capacity could work great for some womens bb games, as well as hockey, too.  No reason for the school itself not to be involved with building a hockey arena, which would clearly benefit their students and community.  Hopefully someone like JLG got involved... not sure if the winner of the RFP was announced yet or not. https://facilities.unc.edu/wp-content/uploads/sites/256/2024/02/240207-arena-site-planning-study-rfq.pdf Given the movement the club hockey program has started toward building their own arena, and the demand for local ice time, I can't think of a potential development that would better meet the demands of the local market while being in balance with the University's needs.... This isn't really even about the potential for NCAA hockey - it's just a joke if UNC doesn't acknowledge the needs of their students and local community.  The club program alone has clearly shown that they NEED an arena, and they have also shown that they have community support, and the demand for local ice time is crazy right now, which is what makes it economically viable for a club hockey program to spearhead the construction of a new arena.
    • Yep he owns HA Thompson arena 
    • Don’t disagree. Do we have any one that will actually take the top off the defense (if a QB can get it there too)? I know Caden Dennis is supposed to be that guy. Nate D too? Bo and Tai are more of the slot type guys, right? I suppose they’re both talented enough where they could too. Hakim going to be ready?
    • And throw the ball further than 3 yards in the air
