Illinois No Longer Planning To Add Hockey
(Champaign, IL) — The University of Illinois isn’t planning on adding men’s ice hockey. Director of Athletics Josh Whitman announced yesterday that the school will discontinue efforts to pursue the sport. He said it has been determined that it isn’t viable to bring Division I men’s ice hockey to the University of Illinois at this time. Whitman said the decision was made following more than five years of extensive evaluation and intense effort to generate interest and support.
