The Florida Atlantic University Owls will be representing South Florida during this week's American Collegiate Hockey Association's National Tournament (Division 3) in Holland, Michigan. The tourney begins Wednesday, running through Saturday's championship game at 8:30 pm.
FAU's participation is notable on several fronts: head coach Peter Worrell was a legendary member of the Florida Panthers for five seasons, the club plays its home games at Saveology IcePlex in Coral Springs, and the school's main campus is in Boca Raton, all lending a truly local flavor to their appearance.
More background on FAU's season and entry to the national spotlight can be found here courtesy of the awesome HockeyYall.com; further info on FAU's hockey program is located at their website. All tournament games can be viewed live via FastHockey at no charge.
Thanks to Don H. for the heads-up.

While there’s no Panther link… (definitely did not know Worrell was coaching FAU. I played for UF and would have remembered a hulking figure behind the bench when we played them back then) but for some Florida ties…
UCF (Central Florida) is a #1 seed at the ACHA Nationals, and Florida Gulf Coast also made the final tourney. Nice to see the talent level in Florida on the rise, even if it is on the D3 ACHA level.
