Hey, I'd love to see an NU hockey team as much as
anyone. But the cost would just be too much for NU.
Forget about all the equipment or a practice rink -
where would we even play?

Not sure about track - not a huge thing in Big Ten
country and we'd have to re-renovate the stadium.

But men's lacrosse should *definitely* be something we
push for - it's relatively cheap, it's growing rapidly
in popularity nationwide, its athletes are usually
higher-caliber students and NU eligible ... plus we
have a great model to go from in building our team
with the women's team.

I could definitely see NU adding men's lacrosse in the
future and being quite successful at it.

GO CATS!!!
