The future of UAH playing hockey at the DI level is not looking good beyond this season, with the potential for Interim President Portera to make a decision to kill the program as soon as early October. Alumni and supporters were only recently told what what amount would need to be raised to potentially help the program survive, and they've actively started the fundraising efforts.

If you're on Facebook, you can go to the http://www.facebook.com/#!/SaveUAHHockey Save UAH Hockey page and 'like' the page.

You can also sign an online petition to Dr Portera, encouraging him to give the alumni and supporters a more reasonable timeframe to be able to raise the required funds. You can sign the petition here:

This impacts me personally as my son is just beginning his sophomore season as a member of the UAH Hockey team. His love and decision to pursue hockey was born from all the years that we had Cyclones season tickets.

Thanks,

Joe

p.s. - I forget who was talking about catching a Predators game this season, but the UAH schedule is out and the play U. Nebraska-Omaha in Nashville on Dec 2 (7pm)/3 (1pm). The Predators play the Sabres evening of 3 Dec

I'm going to send this to all of our contacts in the girl's league. That should get it out to about 25 teams and all their parents.

Good luck UAH!
