When I was in Salt Lake City for this years players development camp for USA Hockey, I was part of a staff that included the Oklahoma Sooners Club hockey coach. He mentioned his website for the team (ouhockey.com). I thought I would post because I know there are alot of seniors and seniors to be that may be looking at playing hockey in college. This team is a division 1 club team, meaning they play some pretty good hockey - Minnesota, Penn State, Ohio State, teams from Colorado, well you can see their schedule at the site. I dont think they play Texas anymore (last game was like 26-0 something).
Other Texas teams have club teams, UT, A&M, Texas Tech etc, they dont play the quality schedule that OU plays. Plus, OU actually recognizes the team, they have the support of the school, no money given yet. Rumor has it, if things go as planned, they hope to be a true D1 varsity sport in 6+ years, plus they are looking at building a new rink on campus.
I hope serious players take a look at this, the sport will grow at the college level. If OU goes varsity, look for UT and the other southern schools to follow suit.
Just thought I would pass on some info, sometimes players cant find answers to their questions about playing after hs, and some want more than the local adult league.
Be good and have a great summer,
