We have a fuggin ice hockey team but refuse to have facilities or pay legit coaches for our football program. it infuriates me to no end just how much disdain our BOT and Boosters have for our football program.

it's a club team funded by student activity fees, the kids themselves, and donors that they solicit on their own. they have nothing to do with the athletic department.

LOL. We don't have a brand new IPF, and we didn't just extend Richt through 2023? Maybe you don't think Richt et al. are "legit coaches", but he certainly didn't come cheaply. Perhaps your issue is with who the BOT decided to shell out all of the money to, but it's certainly not a refusal to pay big money. BTW, hockey at UM is a club team, not a varsity sport, so yeah....

I'd be careful citing the 2nd part of your first sentence as a positive. They also prematurely extended Coker, Shannon, and Golden.

Oh, it wasn't necessarily a positive at all (I didn't like the hire then, and don't like it now). The point was that it's not about the money. They're spending plenty of money.

Fair enough. I think the broader point is that even when they do spend money, it's not necessarily wisely but more to fit a stereotype. The Richt hire screamed of safety and conservatism and I think people have a hard time distinguishing between that and just the pure amount.

thanks for your interest in purchasing university of miami ice hockey jerseys.

they have been ordered and should be arriving within the next 2 weeks or so. upon receipt, they will be available for online purchase at:

Can we get a kicker off the ice hockey team?

Oh, wait. I got them confused. I can never keep those very minor regional sports straight.

Sorry.

our team's goal is to ascend to division 1 and for that to happen we will need the support of the canes community. please consider attending one (or more) of our games if possible and follow our journey on facebook and instagram. some of our games will also be available for online viewing (on a subscription basis) at:

Is there any chance you guys could become a varsity sport at some point in the future? Or has there not be any discussion of that?

our goal is to ascend to division 1 status as quickly as possible and we will do everything within our power to make that happen. while we realize it will likely require some time to achieve this, it has been, and will continue to be, our primary focus.

Happy to hear that. I’m a big hockey guy, so I hope it happens eventually.
 
Is Manny Diaz gonna coach the team? He's good at doing hockey-style line changes.
