Tech Prof Chairs WCHA
For more information on this story contact:
MAY 17. 2004 -- Pat Joyce, Michigan Tech's faculty representative for athletics and a professor in the School of Business and Economices, will serve as chair of the Western Collegiate Hockey Association in 2004-05. The league made the announcement at its annual meeting in Marco Island, Florida.
In his role as chair, Joyce will lead the Executive Committee. The four-person group, in conjunction with the league commissioner, is responsible for conducting the day-to-day operation of the Association consistent with existing Association legislation.
Joining Joyce on the Executive Committee will be Rick Yeo, Michigan Tech's athletics director; Craig Dahl, head men's ice hockey coach at St. Cloud State; and Linda Baumann, faculty representative for athletics at Wisconsin.
Yeo will also chair the WCHA Structure Committee in 2004-05 and serve as a member of the Honors Committee.
In other news from the WCHA meetings, the Association will petition the NCAA Ice Hockey Rules Committee for permission to experiment with instant replay in games played at Denver and at Alaska Anchorage.
The protocol the WCHA will propose varies from the current NCAA rule book in that the referee would review any situation allowable by rule using a monitor in the penalty box area at ice level. |
