Fans should turn out to support UAA's final season of college hockey .  The end has been coming for some time now , as few care about UAA sports teams .  Two weeks ago I attended the season opener for the Liberty University hockey team in Lynchberg Virginia . Their arena has seats for a little over two thousand . The arena was packed , with about 85 percent of the crowd being students. The crowd was electric , making UAA games feel third rate by comparison.  The fans hung with each other between periods , unlike UAA where the elites run off behind a curtain for free popcorn and beer .  There was no beer sold in the arena , meaning all were there to enjoy college hockey and hang with each other.  If it weren't too late for UAA hockey , they should have gone down south to see how real college hockey programs operate .  It's no wonder few care about UAA sports . After all , if the students don't care about their own teams , no one else should either .
