The UT Hockey team gets back in action this weekend with a pair of games against MAC rival Northern Illinois University. The teams take the ice at Tam O'Shanter Ice Arena at 11 pm Friday and 3 pm Saturday afternoon. Besides the great action on the ice, the Loft will also be available for both games. So come on out for some great hockey. Hope to see you there.
Also:
The UT Ice Hockey team is currently looking to fill several roster spots for the upcoming Spring '08 semester. To do so we would like to hold a series of tryouts between December 8th and 19th. However, before officially announcing that these tryouts will be held we would like to gauge the general interest in such tryouts. Basically, we are trying to avoid holding an open tryout and having only two or three new skaters show up. Therefore, if you would be interested in trying out for the UT Hockey team and possibly joining the team for the Spring semester please respond to this email ASAP.
The tryout skates will probably be held on Mondays and Wednesdays, later in the evening (typical practice start time is 10:30 pm) in order to avoid any conflicts with classes. Cost will be minimal, probably $10 per skate.
As mentioned, this is an OPEN tryout. This means, anyone interested in the team is welcome to attend. Those that attended the team's first tryouts earlier in the year are strongly encouraged to come out again. However, it is also strongly encouraged that all those interested also find some way to get themselves on the ice before the actual tryouts as these will be actual tryouts, not conditioning practices.
Again, if you or someone you know would be interested in such a tryout, please contact me ASAP. We would like to have a good idea of the interest in a tryout by Friday at the latest so that we can announce if there is enough interest to make a tryout worth while.
Thanks and I hope to hear from you all soon.
