LETTER: Hockey team needs support

Editor,

The Utah State Aggie Hockey team needs your help! It is with great pleasure that we inform you that on Feb. 18, 2005, Utah State Hockey received a bid to the ACHA (American Collegiate Hockey Association) Division II National Tournament. The team leaves for this tournament on March 1 and will compete March 2-5.

This year, USU is the only school in Utah that received a bid to this National Tournament and it is the third time in the last four years that we were invited! This is an exciting time for us as we go to Detroit to represent our school at a national level.

As Utah State Hockey, we would like to ask for your support in a few ways. First, is your enthusiasm for our participation in this national tournament. Please know that we will representing our university with great eagerness and will work hard to bring back a national title. Second, is for funding. Please stop by in front of the USU Bookstore to donate any loose change or a few buck to help the team pay for this great expense. We will have a table set up on Monday from 9 a.m. until 1 p.m. The Bookstore is going to match all donations that we raise so let’s all work together to help with a great cause.

Shelly Ryan
