Skaters are passionate about taking the
ice for Coastal Carolina University. It's
everything to me. Being part of the team
creates a bond among members. I was
welcomed with open arms into this team
and I seems like I gained 18 or 20
brothers. Most of the players come from
the North. Hockey was just such a big
part in most of our lives growing up. It
gives us a feeling of home, because we're
able to keep doing whatever we love. The
group is quite competitive. A lot of
people come here because they know that
we have a good team and we're an
up-and-coming program, really. Coastal
competes in the East Coast Collegiate
Hockey Association Colonial Conference.
Last year was actually a big success for
us. It was our first championship in
school history. Success for team members
extends beyond the ice. Staying
academically connected is, it's a big
deal for us, because we do it, there's a
minimum GPA requirement you have to have.
That's where team bonds can also be
beneficial. We study as a team, you know,
we have a group chat, we're always asking
when are we going to the library and stuff
like that. For most, the ability to play
hockey was a factor in coming to CCU. It
definitely made a difference in my
decision on coming here.
Coastal offers opportunities in 23 club
sports.
