College Hockey in South Florida

[GeauxSioux]

UM, FIU play the first college hockey game in Miami-Dade

The two college teams that played a hockey game Saturday night at the Kendall Ice Arena would never be mistaken for Boston College, the University of Minnesota or the University of North Dakota.

But make no mistake about one thing: There was no less effort, passion and love for the game on display than you would have seen at any of those legendary college hockey programs when club teams representing Florida International University and the University of Miami met at the Kendall Ice Arena on Saturday night.

Hockey appears to be in a "grow" mode.
