If GCU did add hockey I think they could give ASU a run for their money. The basketball atmosphere at GCU is way better than ASU and with a arena the same size as Mullet I think GCU could make it work. They also seem to be buying up property to the east of campus to expand it, surprised they didn't try to buy part of Metrocenter Mall thats 10 minutes away. The WCHL had a vote to allow SDSU and NAU join but only SDSU did, or that is what the UNLV coach made it seem. WCHL with ASU, Arizona, GCU and NAU sounds nice.

NAU probably thought they would have an on campus rink by now. All they need is a zamboni and a ice chiller. https://www.change.org/p/nau-fieldhouse-rink Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also need to find a legitimate architect with hockey experience. Really bothers me that the school doesn't seem to be helping... even as part of like a recreation facility standpoint. Community support for anything hockey outside our region is pathetic. Not too far down the road is North Carolina State, where the Hurricanes are investing 300 million into PNC arena. It's really sad that the school and the Canes don't seem to be interested in adding an extra sheet of ice for the club program (and the community) as part of that plan. They do appear to be adding a 4,300 seat ballroom/concert venue, however! That would be a perfect size for the club team and they could still use it for concerts... https://www.cbs17.com/news/local-news/wake-county-news/new-ideas-revealed-for-pnc-arena-multi-million-dollar-renovation-plan/ Edit: make that 5,00 seats. In addition to upgrades, Carolina Hurricanes owner Tom Dundon has separate plans to develop a sports and entertainment district around the arena; containing a 5,000-seat music venue, stores, offices, a hotel and rental homes, including affordable housing options. In an agreement with the Centennial Authority, Dundon said he would invest up to $800 million into the development. Rec Sports Master Plan doesn't even mention hockey - hopefully that changes at some point with the success of the Hurricanes and growth of the club programs in the region. https://facilities.ofa.ncsu.edu/files/2015/04/Recreational-Sports-Master-Plan-Update-2014.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nodak651 Posted 19 hours ago Share Posted 19 hours ago Tennessee State's program may potentially be on thin ice. Apparently TSU had a structural deficit for years, and from what I understand, they basically weren't aware of it due to negligence. The entire board of trustees was replaced this past spring. Really hope they can hold on... talk about terrible timing. This video is a Q&A from Monday, but it doesn't cover anything athletics related. Their prior meeting (last friday) is also on their YT channel, and they cover the cause for the budget issues in that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
