Hockey is not traditionally associated with the city of El Paso, but with the recent stellar play of the UTEP Club hockey team, that has changed.
Two players in particular—freshman forward Austin Simpson and junior Forward Matt Sanca, are two vital reasons why the UTEP hockey team has had an exceptional season thus far.
Simpson, who leads the team with sixteen goals and has three hat tricks this season in matchups against Texas Tech, Texas State and the University of New Mexico, relies on his speed and extensive knowledge of the game to put him in successful scoring positions.
