UW gonna need get real with hockey if they want to play in the B1G. BCHL puts lots of players in to colleges out east so I'm sure theres lots of players that would like a local school to go to

It's pathetic that ASU has an arena that is so legit the Phoenix coyotes will play there, while UW 3 hours from BC has it as a fucking club sport.
Fucking unreal.
The Kraken will correct this long term, but still. -

In spite of plenty of NHL teams in the Pac 12 footprint there is no college hockey tradition out here. -
Bro I went through this for 4 years at UW. My roommates were a spoiled rich kid from Dallas who was obsessed with the Stars and some other kids from BC who were Canucks fans. We yelled at each other constantly over this topic.YellowSnow said:

If UW cuts some programs and starts Men's and Women's hockey teams, that's much better for the AD long term. Check out ASU's arena. UW could build that and sell that out every year. -

Yes there's the WHL where kids don't want to play school. But if UW had a strong program they would think twice about that.
It's a better investment than a lot of things. -
ASU's barn is decent by cawlidge hawkey standards. But make no mistake: It's a complete fucking embarrassment that an NHL team calls that place home--even temporarily.haie said:It's pathetic that ASU has an arena that is so legit the Phoenix coyotes will play there, while UW 3 hours from BC has it as a fucking club sport.
