BYU historically has barely tolerated the Hockey team. I don’t know the specific details but I would guess the team just couldn’t get around many of the obstacles BYU would continually put in place or there was an incident that provided an easy out to get rid of the team. I was heavily involved with the team for five years and the financial side of things was the biggest challenge……this also may have been an issue.
I will never donate money to BYU but I will continue to donate to club sport teams where you will find some great student athletes who are playing solely for the love of their sport.
RIP BYU Hockey……many great memories!!!
