WHERE WILL YOUR DONATIONS GO?
01
Travel (50%)
The Frozen Tide competes against teams in states such as Oregon, Oklahoma, Illinois, and West Virginia, which requires a substantial amount of travel-related expenses. This includes: airfare, vehicle transportation, team meals, and hotel accommodations for a roster of 24-30 skaters and coaches. Being in a geographically isolated hockey region, travel makes up the majority of our $200,000 budget.
02
Ice Time (30%)
Since ice is not conveniently located on Alabama's campus, the Frozen Tide must rent ice time and other respective facility needs for practices and games. Our players drive almost 50 minutes one-way to our home ice rink located in Birmingham, Alabama. With a 38 game season from August to March, ice and facility fees add up quickly.
03
Equipment (18%)
Players must purchase their own equipment, much of which is not covered by team dues. Our biggest priority is ensuring our athletes are equipped with safe and protective gear to compete at their highest level possible.
04
League Fees (2%)
Although such fees are a small percentage of the total budget, league payments are required for every participating ACHA program.
EXPAND ALABAMA HOCKEY'S IMPACT
With your support, we can continue to provide the Alabama community with a competitive collegiate hockey program. Your donation will allow us to expand the accessibility of the club to more students and help grow the sport of hockey in Alabama and the southeast. Alabama Hockey is extremely grateful for the donations and support from our devoted Frozen Tide friends, family, and alumni nationwide!
