The University of Idaho Ice Hockey Club is one of the longest running clubs at the university. It has a large fanbase and dedicated players who love what they do.
Despite the inclusion of “club” in their title, the team is a part of the American College Hockey Association. They play against other schools such as Eastern Washington, Gonzaga, Boise State and other colleges.
Every Tuesday night, the hockey players gather at the Palouse Ice Rink to practice for an hour, including Club President Wyatt Tatakis.
Recruitment has been hard for the team since hockey is a close contact sport, and people are nervous about COVID-19, Tatakis said.
