A new men's hockey program is in the works for Rainy River Community College.
Jeff Wickstrom says they're hopeful to begin play as early as this month.
"We ended up with quite a few students on campus this year that are hockey players due to the baseball program," says Wickstrom, "and local players who decided to stay in the area. I working to put together a team for the spring semester."
Last night, International Falls city council agreed to provide a one-time grant of $3,600 for start-up costs.
Wickstrom says the goal is to have the program fully funded through the College.
He's hoping to follow the path taken by the College's women's hockey program which won two national championships just a few years after being developed.
