QUOTE With a sensational season behind us, we now look to a cloudy future. With the departure of the Lubbock Cotton Kings of the Central Hockey League, and the collapse of the ice plant which makes the ice and maintains hockey here at the City Bank Coliseum in Lubbock, Texas, the Texas Tech hockey program’s future in Lubbock may be in jeopardy. The ice plant must be replaced in order for hockey to survive in the Hub City, and not just Tech hockey. The Lubbock Youth Hockey program, as well as the Lubbock Adult Hockey program, the Lubbock Figure Skating Club, General Public Skating, Open Skates, and any ice event that may take place at the City Bank Coliseum will be done. Action must be taken, we must come together as a community, as a family and save a sport and a recreational outlet that all will truly miss. Finances for this ice plant and the future growth of hockey in Lubbock and its surrounding South Plain cities are the key to success. Texas Tech hockey has committed itself to that growth and prosperity, and will take on the role of leader and director of all hockey operations at the City Bank Coliseum. To do this will cost money, and the cost we are looking at is approximately $250,000. This money will give us the means to purchase a new ice plant ($100,000), purchase a new Zamboni machine ($40,000), and purchase the hockey materials and machinery to run the facility and to also pay to staff the City Bank Coliseum with the right hockey personnel ($50,000). The remaining funds will be distributed towards the Tech Hockey program, the youth program, adult program and any other areas that will encompass the usage of the ice ($60,000). Looks like no more hockey for Tech or anyone in Lubbock. -------------------- death to false dudes

Waste of time/money/effort/etc.

The Crickets baseball team went under years ago. I blame the name choice... This post has been edited by Psykopath: Sep 10 2007, 06:40 PM -------------------- |

I always thought the Cotton Kings team name was GHEY then I hear of the "Crickets"??? That's uber-GHEY.
People in Lubbock need to learn how to name sports teams, the names are supposed to be intimidating. |

The tech hockey team just signed a lease with the City to use the coliseum. Unless something drastic happened i think this is an old press release.

Exhibit A: If we couldn't support not even an A team what makes you believe that we could do a farm system team? I guess quality of play would be better but I just don't see it working out here. People are pretty much indifferent to sports other than football here. -------------------- |
