Okay, fam. All we need is to not have fewer goals than Ferris in the first 65:00 tomorrow night and nothing matters next weekend.

Best win of the year. Fortunate to get three on Bednard early in the third, and hold on when the Falcons brought the fury the rest of the way.

Credits to the Chargers. When BG took a nap in the third period, the Chargers took advantage. I just wish BG would quit shooting themselves in the foot.

I'm okay if they change feet tomorrow.

So it's an overage guy from South Africa (that's kinda cool) and a 19-yo smallish defenseman who'll probably get another year in juniors. Two guys from out west ... is Lance working his magic again?

Is there a pending vote for approval on this or is it simply at concept level at this point? I know that Dr. Altenkirch has been a big supporter of UAH Hockey. With incoming President, good to hear he sounds supportive of including a facility for hockey in an expansion..... hoping perhaps Dr. Altenkirch sees this project as part of his legacy and continues to support the project in retirement!!

This is something that Altenkirch is very passionate about. He once told me that he'd like to work this after retirement. (He did not tell me that he wanted a hockey facility there.)

This has been submitted to the BoT, but I don't know when they'll vote on it. Between this and a new President, they've got a lot to consider.

Hmmm, if this gets built, I just may have to make another trip down there in my green gear!

Apparently the board will vote on the proposal in June:

Re: UAH Hockey 2018-19

Interesting article on UAH hockey from College Hockey News:
https://www.collegehockeynews.com/ne...the-Future.php

More on the on-campus facility and recruiting and scheduling. I found this very interesting:

"Huntsville is making a point to do home-and-home series with these teams, which will be a theme in their future schedules. Both Lowell and Omaha will travel to Huntsville during the 2020-21 season. Boston University is also confirmed for a home-and-home in the next few years, with the Chargers heading to Agganis Arena first."

Big get to have BU come down to Huntsville. It'll be interesting if we have the new arena by then.

By the way, June 6-7 is the next UA BoT meetings in Tuscaloosa. It's expected they will vote on the mixed-use development and the multi-use facility then.
