I grew up in Nashville and went to undergrad at a school near Vandy. I don't think that is a realistic possibility, despite the recent success of Predators hockey. Youth and high school hockey in the region is spare. Plus just can't see any SEC school putting a lot of resources in a "norther sport." Would be great for UAH, but just can't see them committed to hockey.
Sidenote, how why and how UAH started?
