True, but the guy played football for Maryland. I'm not against Maryland starting a hockey program, I just don't see it happening anytime soon.
With the Pinnacle Back Arena Nebraska, to me, looks to be the closest B1G school to add hockey.
Does Under Armor make anything other than jerseys for Boston College, that would be a no. Until Under Armor starts making gloves, shoulder pads, shin pads, sticks, etc. I don't see the CEO of Under Armor funding Maryland to start a hockey team.
I'd say once Stecher commited Senkbeil was told he wouldn't be coming back. Hakstol being the nice guy he is found a place for him to transfer to. In all honesty Senkbeil was a last minute replacement for a decommitment and if it wasn't for all the injuries his freshman year he probably wouldn't have played.
Since Grand Forks AFB has Global Hawk drones good chance they will be a testing site, which would help keep Grand Forks AFB open. Most likely Alaska would be the main testing area for extreme winter testing on drones.
After looking at the map of areas that are being looked at for drone testing locations. Good chance NAS Pax River could be one, because that is where the X-47B is being tested by the Navy.
After looking at the State Farm Center's renovation renderings it looks like the lower bowl seating is going to be permanent and not retractable, which would allow the ability to put a hockey rink in the area.
The Cole Fieldhouse doen't have ice making abilities neither does the Comcast Center, if Mayland was to join B1G hockey it would be more likely that the team would use the Verizon Center in D.C. (only 24 minutes from the College Park). The only way I see Under Armour backing Maryland's hockey team is if Under Armour started making hockey equipment.
It looks to me that EIU was replying to a tweet by @USCollegeHockey, when @USCollegeHockey was talking about Illini Hockey's big anouncement that turned out to be new jerseys.
Dillion Simpson's brother Riley had a pretty good year in the AMHL in 34 games he was (26-29-55) he also played 10 games for Spruce Grove Saints (2-3-5). It looks like he'll be playing next season for the Spruce Grove Saints in the AJHL.
Denver can compete in 7 Big Sky sports now, if I remember right there was talk on Let's Go DU blog about bringing back football to get into a better conference.
