University of Lethbridge cuts men's and women's hockey programs
There will no longer be any men's or women's hockey at the University of Lethbridge in Alberta. The institution has cut both programs citing three straight years of budget cuts to its operating grant by the provincial government.
In all, 52 student athletes are impacted by the decision, as well as coaches recruits.
"We have had to make several difficult decisions in the past few months and this one is equally challenging," University of Lethbridge president Mike McMahon said in the statement.
"The Pronghorn hockey programs have been a source of great pride for our athletes, students, alumni, donors, sponsors, the campus community and supporters throughout southern Alberta."
"I know this news will significantly impact everyone associated with these programs."
The Pronghorns won a national championship back in 1994 when they were coached by former NHL bench boss Mike Babcock.
