UT is located in Knoxville, Tennessee, in the foothills of the Great Smokey Mountains.  Knoxville was recently names as "Best Place to Live" by Places Rated for cities with less than one million people. It was also ranked as having the 3rd lowest cost of living among all U.S. metropolitan areas.  Knoxville is located less than an hour from the 520,000 acre Great Smokey Mountains National Park, which includes 800 miles of trails for hiking and horseback riding, 735 miles of streams for fishing, scenery from countless lookouts and 13 peaks of over 6,000 feet as well as the mountain resorts of Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge.  Knoxville is Tennessee's third largest city with a metro population of 650,000 people. Aside from being a center for agriculture and recreation, Knoxville is well known for the arts.  The downtown Civic Coliseum hosts the Knoxville Symphony Orchestra,  numerous Broadway plays, concerts, and professional sports.  The city also hosts the Sundown in the City Concert Festival, Hot Summer Nights Concert Series, Dogwood Arts Festival, and Boomsday - the largest fireworks show in the southern U.S. - held each Labor Day. Knoxville was the host city for the 1982 World's Fair, and the old World's Fair site was recently converted into a beautiful new city park adjacent to the new ultra-modern Knoxville Convention Center.  Knoxville is also home to the Women's Basketball Hall of Fame, author Alex Haley's home, the East Tennessee Museum of Art, and the Museum of Appalachia.

ACADEMIC ELIGIBILITY
The ACHA administers specific eligibility rules to which each player must adhere in order to maintain their active status on the Tennessee Hockey Team. The basic academic rule states that each player must maintain at least a 2.0 GPA, be a full-time undergraduate (12 credit hours) or graduate (9 credit hours) student and pass a minimum of nine (9) credits each semester. It is also required that each player complete 24 units from the previous school year to be eligible to play in the fall of the following year.

ANNUAL DUES
Tennessee Hockey is a pay-to-play (fee) Club sport. The University of Tennessee Athletic Department does not financially support us. We have several sources of revenue, including corporate sponsors, fundraisers, clothing sales, gate receipts and program ad sales. At this point, it is not enough to offset the team's expenses that include, but are not limited to, equipment, travel and lodging and ice time.

This year's fee will be approximately $300 per semester and must be paid before the first team practice of each semester.

If you are still interested in attending Tennessee and being a part of our program, please complete the Online Player Profile Form and return it directly to me by mail or email as soon as possible. Please be sure to include your correct address, phone number and e-mail address.

If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. 
Thank you for your interest in the Tennessee Hockey Program.
