More on the 2012 Giving Campaign from Nathan
Nathan Bowen (’00) sent out a letter to alumni and friends of the organization. I want to share it with you. Dear Alum and Friends, As the hockey season comes to an end for the UAH Chargers this month, a new beginning, a NEW ERA of Charger Hockey will be born! Publicly things have been [...]
Buying a UAH Hockey Jersey
One of the questions that I get asked the most is, “I’m not in Huntsville. How do I buy a UAH hockey jersey?” The only true retail outlet for jerseys is the UAH bookstore. When I spoke with the manager just now, I didn’t get “how do I tell people how to buy a jersey?” [...]
All Is Not Lost
The Huntsville Times has the scoop: the program will continue past 2012. Here’s the statement from the school: Members of The University of Alabama in Huntsville administration met this evening with hockey supporters, following discussions with Chancellor Malcolm Portera, and came to a consensus to work closely together to pursue institutional and community support to [...]
Jeremy Robichaud on Hints of the Past
I’m a USCHO poster (jrobes01) and long-time UMass Lowell fan. With UAH coming up to Lowell this Friday, I thought it would be a good time to send you an e-mail. Although I’ve only seen the web portion of the attempt to keep UAH Hockey alive, I’m very impressed with what you’ve done in the [...]
Justin Roller on Perseverance
[Justin is a 2010 UAH graduate currently in law school at NYU.] My favorite Charger hockey memory will always be my first road trip to Niagara. In the fall of my freshman year at UAH, you could pay $80 for a 16 hour bus ride to Niagara Falls and two tickets to the weekend series [...]
Leslie Reed on Hockey as Huntsville and Family Tradition
When I lived in Huntsville in the early-mid 1980s, UAH hockey games were “the place to be”. Being introduced to hockey through UAH, my brother joined a league at age 10 or 11 when we moved to NC in 1985. There were not many leagues around, so it was a travelling team. My dad and [...]
Lauren Kahre About Learning to Love Hockey at UAH
I’m a student at UAH, in my fourth, and, barring some drastic failure, last year of undergraduate study. I say undergraduate because I’ll still be here at the graduate level next year, and I can’t believe that it might be my only year here without hockey. I came to UAH with little hockey experience. I [...]
George Sauers, on the Opportunity Lost
My son was 10 when he first met Nathan Bowen and began playing tier 1 hockey for his youth travel program. Living in orlando, we drove 12 hours one way on weekends to practice in Huntsville. During those weekends in Huntsville and spending time with Nathan and his coaches (many of whom were UAH graduates) [...]
What UAH Hockey Means to Alyson Buck and Chris Bertagnolli
UAH hockey is special to both of us. I’m from New York, so I grew up in a “traditional” hockey market, and I loved hockey from the time I was little. When I came to college down here I had a great time telling all my friends from up north that we had a DI [...]
