The Saint Leo University Ice Hockey Club played its first game in what will now be the team’s new home, as the Lions hosted the University of North Florida on April 1 at AdventHealth Center Ice in Wesley Chapel.
The Lions defeated the Ospreys 9-4 in front of a rowdy crowd of green-and-yellow-clad students and fans.
The club, which features students along with faculty member Dr. Randall Woodar and staff member Kevin Floyd on its roster, recently met the necessary requirements to join the Collegiate Hockey Federation, the governing body of more than 120 collegiate club hockey programs.
According to the team, there also are on-ice and off-ice opportunities to be part of the club. Email club president "> for more information.
