I actually think the Hockey team is like Mens Soccer and its a club team.

I had zero clue we have a hockey team. Does CB have a BYU hockey category? Where do they play? The only ice skating I remember from when I was at school was that open air rink out on Utah Lake. I think I went to a ward activity there once.

7 peaks built a new ice arena a few years ago. They play there. Jefe must not be a hockey fan, because CB does not have a college hockey category. I believe BYUs hockey team is called the Ice Cats.

IceCats? then for sure they are not D1, but club.

I know that 7 peaks arena. they were building it for the olympics while I was finishing law school. My wife and I lived in these townhomes on the corner of Center and 9th East, just blocks from the place you are talking about. we played indoor soccer there, though, no ice rink. I need to go check that out.

The Ice Cats have been around for a while. They used to play on Utah Lake back in the day. Another college showed up to play them once and they forfeited because they refused to play on the lake because they didn't think the ice was thick enough.

A couple years back a BYU hockey player was killed after being struck in the chest by a slapshot. That's the only time I've heard of the club in the news.

Technically it's not. It's extramural and recognized as a sport but unlike the soccer team they don't receive any money from BYU. However, the hockey team is allowed to use the BYU name. But they pay for everything out of their own pockets. The games are fun. Lots of mullahs though and they won't let you bang on the glass or anything. They also discourage smack talk to opposing players in the penalty box. Though we did get a player to squirt us with his water bottle once for talking about his mama.

Me and Solon saw Utah beat down byu a couple times on 5600 w and 3500 south. It was like $3 to get in but I remember one game where the goalies fought
