Looks like OU poached Arizona's Head Coach Sean Hogan for the hockey team.  Looks like he did a good job improving the Wildcat program and comes from MAC country with ties to the Western Michigan hockey program.

It's a real team and to suggest otherwise is insulting.

Real team?  I guess over 1000 people per game who PAY to see them aren't there to watch someting that doesn't matter?  
Do you know any thing about Ohio hockey?  By your answer, I think not.

I think the word you need say is "varsity".  All the schools you mentioned once had "club" teams before they became varsity.  It's not like a college decides to have a varsity hockey team and over night a few thousand people PAY money to see them.  "Club' hockey has evolved greatly in the past 30 years.  They are not pick up games or recreational games.  Games are not drunken fights between players.  Players on the Bobcat squad play to win.  The Ohio hockey organization is better managed and funded than alot of the NCAA DIII schools and the skill level is a step below DI.  In fact, I believe the skill level of todays players is equal or better than the varsity players Ohio had in the 60s and early 70s.
ACHA is the college hockey organization that sets the rules for the schools.  Before the ACHA, every school did their own thing and it was chaos.  Some schools played undert NHL rules, some NCAA.
Any way, this team has been around for nearly 60 years has alot of alumni and followers. To say it is not a real team is an insult.  

Well, unless you're Penn State

Any how, Ohio University has 50 some club sports. I'm sure it's fun for those involved and everyone plays to win...to do otherwise would be silly. It's nice to see these teams have success, hopefully they continue to.

Hockey definitely is a difference kind of college sport. Only Division I (scholarship) and Division III (non-scholarship like in all D-III sports) compete for championships. There are only 59 Division I men's hockey schools (including 21 that aren't D-I in other sports) and 74 in Division III. There are only six Division II schools and there is no Division II championship. That means there really aren't many opportunities to play NCAA hockey, especially on scholarship (18 scholarships per school in D-I and 13.5 in D-II). Some really good players play college club hockey.

For a team that "isn't real" we sure have a storied history. Go to Bird Arena and you'll see countless Conference Championship banners, as well as four National Championship banners. You'll see a student section (Gang Green) that, while not as big as OZone, is comprised of students who PAY to go see a sport they truly love. And you'll see skill level good enough to send a player from our roster last year, and Athens native to boot, over to Italy to represent Team USA in the World University games. So, for a "fake" team, I'd say we're pretty good :) and sorry if I sound upset, but I'm going into my third year as Gang Green president (and second year on the OZone board) so I'm passionate about this.

Hockey probably would've been done away with later anyway.

I don't want to be in Miami's position with three major programs and not enough money to go around.
