Friends, we’re in a bad state. Interim UAH president Mack Portera has taken it on himself to take the steps to kill our beloved hockey program. It’s certainly expensive, and we all know how tough the going’s been the last few years. We’ve just gotten in the last month the amount of yearly support needed — $500k. That’s a lot of money, and maybe we don’t get it, but until August, we did not know how much we needed to raise. Now Portera sits poised to kill the program before we’ve had the first chance to figure out how to bring in the money.
Tell him no. Tell him to keep the program going until we can figure out how to make this work.
Please tell your friends as well. You can keep up with the Save UAH Hockey movement on the Web, Facebook, and Twitter. There will be more information on how you can help us over the coming days. Your help is truly needed, as your numbers will give rise to the notion that this program should continue on and thrive.
Thank you for your time.
