LYNCHBURG, VIRGINIA (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 23, 2016
Liberty University’s American Collegiate Hockey Association (ACHA) Division I men’s hockey team, which has been independent since moving up from the Division II level in 2006, will join the Eastern States Collegiate Hockey League (ESCHL) next fall.
“I’m happy to announce that Liberty University will be joining the Eastern States Collegiate Hockey League for the 2016-17 season,” ESCHL Commissioner Dom Bellizzie said. “We believe it will help us to maintain a very competitive schedule and continue our reputation as one of the strongest leagues in the East.”
“This is big for us,” Flames Head Coach Kirk Handy added. “We’ve been independent for nine years now. We had looked to see if we could get into the Eastern States League a few years ago, and now the timing is right for us.”
