I know so many people who watch NHL. The sport is much more exciting than basketball and baseball.

The colleges that actually have hockey teams seem lame though, and the 5 minutes I’ve actually watched of college hockey you wouldn’t even know it’s a contact sport.

Why doesn’t the SEC get into the hockey business and show the lame schools how sports are done? The south has the athletes. Just gotta start teaching them how to play.
Mississippi State vs Ole Miss would be lit.
LSU players would beat up Am’s crappy team.

So much potential, but of course Sanky will be behind the times and we won’t see it anytime soon.

Because Arkansas already dominates the current SEC school league.

Could be a challenge, bet within 5 years an sec school would win it all. There is a college in Huntsville that won a collegiate championship at a lower level.

Sec has massive resources so it could happen quick.

They have club teams. I guess that's a start.

Beyond that it's probably a matter of costs and interest.

Ice is expensive.

It's a great sport that is only slowly gaining popularity in the deep south and ice is not free in the winter in the deep south our southwest.

Look at what UAH hockey has had to go through the last few years for your answer.

If Jamaica can have a Bobsled team then why not Alabama!

I've said it before..with the resources and talent that are available in St. Louis, Illinois and the rest of the midwestern states, Mizzou would be the Bama of D1 SEC hockey.

I have a nephew who played club hockey at Clemson. They can't give scholarships, but they waived out of state tuition.

Do the Baton Rouge Kingfish still have a team?

I miss those trips to the Riverside Centroplex in the late 90s.
