Maybe they'll find a program that fell off the back of a truck.

Are they D-1 in lax too?  Wouldn't surprise me, with that talent pool to recruit from.

With UAH dropping hockey, there's now a way that LIU can get themselves an instant D-1 team.  And that former UAH squad with the LIU location would be a good fit for the ACHA.

And head coach, for that matter (I think).

If LIU is recruiting from the same pools that everyone else is, the team probably won't look a whole lot different than UAH.  https://uahchargers.com/sports/mens-ice-hockey/roster
