How do practices and games affect my academic schedule?
Hawkeye Hockey does its' best to schedule practices that will not conflict with the majority of
class schedules. At times students will have no choice on class times and they may conflict with
scheduled practice times. Hawkeye Hockey DOES NOT advocate students missing classes in
lieu of attending club practices. Academics come first and foremost and the coaches will
certainly take into account a specific students' academic schedule when conflicts occur.
Home games will never conflict with the academic schedules of students. Away Games will
require students to miss classes on Fridays when the traveling distance warrants for extra time
to meet the game time start. As a recognized University Club Sport, excused club absences for
said club activities is typically granted by the class professors. Unfortunately there may be
times when a student will not be excused for an exam or other class assignments. Again, the
club does its' best to limit these conflicts and takes each conflict on a case by case basis.

What about transportation for team practices and games?
Students will need to find a car pool system within the team organization to obtain rides to the
Coral Ridge Ice Arena for practices and games. In the past, more than enough of our members
provide transportation for students who do not drive or have access to a personal vehicle. This
is a tightly knit group of players who will help accommodate everyone. For Away Games the
club will provide transportation with the use of University of Iowa vehicles loaned from the
general motor pool. Usually three vehicles, along with a trailer for equipment and supplies is
secured for said transportation. Students will be responsible for driving these vehicles to and
from the away games. Adult supervision is provided by the team coaching staff and oversees
that all laws and rules are followed to the letter. Occasionally and when the budget will allow,
the team will charter a bus for longer trips.
