Nobody gives a shlt about club. UNLV tied Denver, shootouts don't mean dick and they especially don't in exhibitions. Denver was missing its coach and stud defenseman to World Juniors. Denver wins the next 10 games if they played UNLV.

It’s a club sport dimwit

Per my post above, a group is looking in Greene County, their Albemarle County plans never materialized

The independent group spearheading the rink has gotten initial approval in Greene County. Who knows if it will ever happen.

Say what you want about Liberty, they figured out how to bankroll a rink. (Ducks incoming fire)

Maybe the boars head inn would like to make a fancy rink to go with the fancy UVA branded tennis courts? Couldn’t hurt to have another winter sport option to draw folks to the resort.

Up to Albemarle County. The university isn't building one. I think they had decent support. JMU used to play there too.

Yes. And it failed during Covid. Look up Brookhill. Good thing the rink was replaced by an empty office building.
