Sources close to the Alabama-Huntsville hockey program have indicated that interim UAH president and UA System Chancelor Malcom Potera will pull the plug on Division I hockey discontinuing the Chargers only sport with an NCAA championship. The program will complete the 2011-12 season.

Portera is believed to be making the move solely based upon financial numbers, but SaveUAHHockey.com has learned that solutions to those concerns were brought before Portera and dismissed.

While I can understand that money and budgets are important, I find it hard to believe that someone with “INTERIM” in their title can make a decision like this!

UPDATE

The stories were true. UAH will revert to club status beginning next season. UAH Hockey Fanatic Geof Morris will join us on Sports in the Round Wednesday night to discuss the happenings in the Hunt.
