Remember me? The guy who used to pitch why Syracuse University should add baseball? Well I’m back talking about sports SU doesn’t have! At the NHL Draft, the NHL made an announcement that slipped through the cracks for some:
The University of Illinois has agreed to be the first school to be part of this NHL study, as they have been debating adding hockey for awhile and there has been precedent for Big Ten schools making a successful move up. The school will work with NHL representatives and determine if they can follow in similar school footsteps and start a D1 men’s hockey team.
