This weekend I went to my first UK and EKU Hockey game, and i must say it was crazier then what I expected. Both UK and EKU play there home games at midnight at the Lexington Ice Center. I talked to a guy and he said the place is packed for every home game.
When did EKU get a hockey team? I don't remember them having one when I was a student at EKU.

Holy crap dude! I never expected UK hockey get onto a thread on here. Notice my avatar. I LOVE UK hockey. In my honest opinion, it is a better atmosphere/experience than even football games. I love going to them and they are usually really good for a club team. I cant wait to see them in a couple weeks when they play Cincinnati.
In honor of UK hockey: Du dun, du dun, du dun, du dun dun- HEY YOU SUCK!- WERE GONNA BEAT THE PUCK OUT OF YOU!!

This thread has made my day.
I went to UK midnight hockey games back in the 80's, and it was a blast. I highly encourage any student at UK to check it out.

100% worth it everytime.
Sounds great! I love a good hockey game. One thing that most on here will agree with me on. Hockey may be the only sport in the world that is 100% better live than on tv. You just cannot compare.
^ Agreed!! and nothing compares to the UK hockey games Wink
EKU had a club hockey team back in 95 or 96 when I was going to school there. Anyone could try out, and they were recruiting players. There was a guy from my floor (Keene Hall 14th Floor) who was on the team.

I went to an UK Ice Cats Hockey game back around 92 or 93 when my brother was going to UK. They were awesome.
I agree about the atmosphere. Its crazy how you barely know about it, but once your there its like a cult following. Back around the 02 time anyway.
WOW, I didn't know either school had a hockey team!
I think they're both at club level.

Saturday was my first time, and now i'm thinking about buying season tickets
Are they going to try to get into d-1 competition or are they going to stay independent?
The games are crazy.
I didn't have a clue what was going on because I never really watched hockey much. I still don't. It was a great atmosphere and the place was packed. It was great weekend though: UK hockey Friday at midnight . UK-Tennessee Football the next day. I'd recommend anyone going down to Lexington for a UK Football game to take in an Ice Cats game as well.
I second the notion.
Are they a part of any conference?
