I understand that while the long, long awaited ice arena plans are to be unveiled tomorrow, the most important piece of that plan will be missing - ice. Not only are they not going to add a practice sheet of ice where the tennis courts used to be, they are closing the patch ice for locker rooms. Whi...

It is always great to see a sweep. It would be even better to have more students there to see it and share in the moment.

For the past several years, the administration has been buying a new ice arena one piece at a time when 40 year old equipment breaks.

An added sheet of ice, upgraded lockerrooms, and replacemen...
