Rising seniors Steph Graf (Jamison, Pa./Central Bucks East) and Amanda Faust (Kingston, Pa./Wyoming Valley West) will lead the Bucknell Field hockey team as captains for the 2008 season, head coach Heather Lewis recently announced. The two All-Patriot League performers were elected by team members and coaching staff.
This season, Graf started in all 17 games for the Bison and recorded two points with two assists. She also led the Bison with five defensive saves and was named second-team All-Patriot League for the third time in her career. Recently, Graf earned the Tracy Bass Award for Intensity, given at the annual team banquet, for the second-consecutive season. In her sophomore season, she was selected to the All-Mideast Region team.
In 2008, Graf will lead a defensive unit returning all starters from this year. In addition, she plays a critical role in the Bison attacking penalty corner unit as the team’s primary stopper.

Let’s face it, we’re not going to be wealthy enough to own a professional hockey club. The pittance I make at my real job plus the Google ads isn’t even enough to afford me the luxury of seasons tickets.
Well, I suppose if you are really damn keen on owning a hockey club, then the MyOwnHockeyTeam.com venture might be for you …
MyOwnHockeyTeam is setting out to create the first fan owned and managed Professional Ice Hockey Team. Web technology allows a collective thinking and decision making process, making active fan participation a reality.The concept is simple. Every hockey fan has dreamed of owning a hockey team. We all believe that we have what it takes to lead a team to victory. Each member is entitled to ONE vote in MyOwnHockeyTeam. The funds collected are put into a Toronto based trust, and when we meet the membership goal, we will negotiate and purchase a professional hockey team.
All the decisions are made by the MyOwnHockeyTeam members online. Members will decide what league to join, what team to buy, who makes the team and all the other important tasks of the General Manager.
“We studied modern web applications to see where there was a need in the market.” said Robert Battye, one of the two founders. “This model has been successfully applied to stock market groups, so why not apply the same model to ice hockey?”
The first membership goal is 25,000. At that point the members will vote on whether to continue raising memberships or to purchase one then.
“I love hockey and I’ve always dreamed of owning a team” comments Vlad Heger, the other founder. “I’ve been so frustrated watching owners make decisions based on finances rather than my team winning. Now I want to do something about that”
