It looks likes that Berkeley residents are going to try to save the Berkeley Iceland. Keyword being “try.” A group of community members have created a website, “saveberkeleyiceland.org”:http://saveberkeleyiceland.org in hopes of generating ideas to save the old rink.
Yes, to generate ideas to save the Iceland. Awesome. These people only have two and a half months to save the Iceland “before it closes”:http://clog.dailycal.org/index.php?id=144 and all they’re doing is trying to “generate ideas.”
Now why hasn’t the University stepped in to buy the Berkeley Iceland, since the Cal ice hockey team plays its home matches there? This is a relatively minute point “brought up in a story”:http://www.berkeleydaily.org/text/article.cfm?issue=01-23-07&storyID=26156 in the Berkeley Daily Planet.
We have a simple answer. The Cal ice hockey team isn’t a varsity sport. No varsity sport = no (monetary) support from the university. Sure, the ice hockey players can gripe all they want about stadium renovations and what not, but the question is does anyone care about Cal ice hockey?
Do you care about Cal ice hockey? Do you love ice skating? Then tell us at “clog@dailycal.org”:mailto:clog@dailycal.org.
