Hockey team seeks fans, players

The University of Kansas club hockey team has been trying to attract students who would like to participate in or watch its games.
Since the club team formed in 2000, it has relied solely on word of mouth and sidewalk chalkings to gain followers. This year, the players want to find other ways to raise interest in the team, such as setting up a table at Wescoe Beach and starting an e-mail list for students who would like to play or watch games.
Steve Barbaro, St. Cloud, Minn., freshman, is among one of the new members of the team this year. Barbaro said he first heard of the club team on a campus visit prior to coming to KU. He said he was looking forward to playing on a team that was more laid back than what he was used to.
"I've been playing on competitive teams my entire life and just coming here and having fun is
what I want to do," Barbaro said.
Matt Davis, Topeka junior and team president, said the team would begin practicing and host tryouts at Ice Sports Arena,19900 Johnson Drive, in Shawnee Mission sometime during the second week of October.
The team will play its first game Nov. 3 against Southwest Missouri State in Springfield, Mo. Last year, the team played Southwest Missouri State three times and compiled a 2-1 record against the Bears. Davis said he hoped the team would be ready for the first game of the season.
"We don't have much time for preparation," he said. Normally the team's season would last until early March. But Davis said the team would probably play as long as it could find opponents and as long as it could afford to play.
The cost to play as a club team is not cheap. The University donates $2,500 to the team, and each player is required to pay a $150 playing fee. Davis said each practice cost $235 and games cost $400 each for

the team. In most cases, admission to games is about $2, which helps cover costs for the team.
This year the team is looking into fundraising to allow it to play more games, and earn a chance to play in the 2002-2003 ACHA National tournament. According to achahockey.org, Muskegon Community College in Muskegon, Mich., will host this year's national tournament from March 6 to 8.
Davis said the team was considering a floor hockey tournament and sponsoring skate nights for KU students at Ice Sports.
