UTEP Hockey

[Minerforlife]

The UTEP hockey club plays their first home games this weekend. There is alot of interest in UTEP hockey. They have sold quite a few season tickets. El Paso has a thriving hockey community. While junior soccer teams have failed spectacularly, junior hockey has been a roaring success. The El Paso Rhinos are the most successful, best run and best supported junior hockey club in the United States.The UTEP hockey club will be very successful and could easily be added to UTEP's sports lineup in a few years.

In the short term hockey could speed up the return of UTEP baseball. Adding womens hockey would fulfill the title nine scholarships needed to add baseball. Instead of adding two womens sports we would only have to add womens hockey. We already have the infrastructure in place to add womens hockey.

The city should work with Cory Herman, he is one of the best young entrepreneurs in the city. If the city cant convince UTEP to move in to the new arena, they will have no tennant . The only thing they could put in the arena and fill it up other than UTEP hoops is an AHL team. Mountain Star sports should buy an AHL team and let Cory Herman run it. It would be a huge success, as successful as the chihuahuas. I dont support UTEP moving any sports off campus, I hope they get an AHL team its a win win situation for the city and UTEP.

Wasn't aware of a hockey club at UTEP- thanks for sharing...

UTEP's hockey team is terrible. What have they achieved? Even though they are 3-1 in their extremely short existence, that one loss was against Texas St. Texas St! WTF? The head coach should be fired and a young up and comer given a chance. Until they make the Frozen Four, I will not be a believer.

 

[miner661]

In all seriousness, I'm glad this sport is now at UTEP. There really is no better sport to watch live (except for UTEP Basketball). I wish the Miners Hockey team all the luck in the world, and I hope it catches on and its popularity continues to grow.

They are a club team, so they couldn't compete in the Frozen Four.

 

[El Paso Chihuahuas]

I am not a hockey fan, but I wish them nothing but the best. I think baseball would be very successful for UTEP and hope something happens in the near future.

 

[PositivelyPete]

Hockey sucks. UTEP should be playing baseball instead. Use Cohen Stadium for the national past time

 

[FiliUTEP]

utep should add womens beach volleyball

 

[Voice of the Mosquito]

(topless) women's beach volleyball

 

[El Paso Chihuahuas]

(topless) women's beach volleyball

No, fully nude women's beach volleyball.

 

[Voice of the Mosquito]

Fully nude women's beach volleyball w/ beers of the world bar and margarita parlor

Let's Go Buzzards!
WPHL Finals games have to rank among EPs best sporting events.

If UTEP adds a men's sport, it would probably be soccer.

Everone above is talking about naked or topeless woman's beach volleyball and you have to change it and want men's soccer. You truly are brokeback. I know you want to see guys running around in short shorts.

 

[randaddyMiner]

Still mad about getting called out and then cowarding out?

 

[Epsilon00]

Cowarding out from what??? Going to a bar to meet some weirdo brokeback guy from the internet I have never met is not cowering out, its a very smart decision. That has disaster written all over it. You will slip something in my drink and its all over from there for me. Like I said, I don't go on blind dates with other guys like you do.

Stull has been very adamant that baseball will not be revived at UTEP while he is athletic director due to Title IX and the athletic budget.

I live in the desert southwest, I don't care about hockey. How many places in el paso can I go work on my hockey game.

That was his attitude when he was starting out. It has changed now he has said baseball will be added it just has to be done in financially responsible way. They are looking to add womens sports to make it possible.

 

[Firstdowndash]

I really wanted baseball but now that we have the Chihuahuas coupled with the fact that the MLS thing didn't come through, I wouldn't mind if they added men's soccer first.

I highly doubt we ever add mens soccer.

Only two people were talking about women's topless volleyball...FACT. Boy, for a so-called fact man, your skills suck.
