Blueline Boosters OHIO Hockey
The Blueline Booster Club is a nonprofit organization formed to support the high standards of ice hockey at Ohio University through fundraising efforts and volunteerism. The Blueline Booster Club provides financial and moral support to the OHIO Hockey Team. They help provide and prepare food for team travel, honor players, organize alumni events, and sponsor social events.
The Ohio University Hockey Team has a unique feature in that, it does not charge its players to play. Since the team is a non-varsity sport, it receives little financial assistance from the university and relies on the ticket and gear sales and fundraising by players, staff and The Blueline Booster Club.
