Nebraska Hockey

Nebraska Lincoln needs to elevate its club hockey team to a varsity sport.

With NIL, NU can definitely attract talent. Have them play at The Bank, it sits vacant so much.

Just saw a Mavs hockey game. My takeaway was "Oh cmon!!!"

I'm aware nobody cares about hockey.

I agree. I personally don't watch or enjoy hockey but there is no denying how popular it is. And it seems like every other little kid I know plays it.

If NU wants to rub shoulders with B1G affiliates, this is the place to start

I dig it.
I’ve played hockey for about 35 yrs and think the students and community could get behind something fresh to compliment the Volleyball team.
Perhaps an outdoor game at Memorial Stadium?
Dannen wants to use the place.

Winter Special 2026.

Hey dude! Where did you play?!

Nebraska Hockey needs to be a thing and I think the community can get behind it. Especially if it is advertised as our outlet after football is over

Mostly Omaha.

I assume there would be Title IX implications so what womens sport would be added?

Then if you add those two additional sports, thats less NIL dollars potentially for a good left guard or WR

Women play hockey. Our National Women's team is the best in the world.

Hockey would lose too much money. With profit sharing coming next year schools will be cutting sports not adding. Just my opinion

But on the other hand with college being a pay to play kids who play Canadian Major Junior hockey are now eligible to play college hockey in the states so if schools don’t add teams there won’t be too many US born players playing.

Years ago the generally accepted opinion was that if a sport was added, it would be a women's sport due to title 9
