According to a report in the Nashville Post<\/em><\/a>, Tennessee State University is looking into the possibility of fielding an NCAA Division I men’s hockey team in the future.<\/p>\n

The report says that the school will soon announce plans to conduct a feasibility study with the goal of determining the viability of starting a hockey program at TSU in addition to identifying how much fundraising would need to be done to get the program off the ground.<\/p>\n

Should the team come to fruition, TSU’s would be the first Division I hockey team in the history of the country’s historically black colleges and universities, according to the Post, which also cited a source saying that a partnership between TSU and the NHL’s Nashville Predators could be announced as well.<\/p>\n

University officials did not respond to the Post’s requests for comment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
