On the Pelham Civic Center ice rink, the UAB Hockey Club watched as the final seconds ticked off the clock of their inaugural season. The Blazers fell short, but the members knew they started something bigger than themselves.

"We really appreciate the support,” said sophomore center Jakob Hornsby. “Without the fans, this would die off. When recruits come to the game, they are amazed by how crowded the stands are. Even other teams were surprised by how many people showed up to the games. The Mayor of Pelham actually left a University of Alabama game to come watch ours because he thought ours was more interesting.
