Unsourced article about student team. Not a major sport in the UK. Nothing to establish WP:notability. noq (talk) 23:52, 26 June 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete. The only coverage in a reliable source i could find from Google searches is half a sentence in the University of Nottingham student magazine. That's not significant coverage, however, nor is it completely independent, so fails to meet WP:GNG or WP:ORG. Qwfp (talk) 08:31, 27 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete. Per above.  Patken4 (talk) 21:40, 27 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete - with a couple of odd historical exceptions, university sport in the UK is completely non-notable. It gets no mainstream press coverage at all and even at the universities themselves it is not on the radar of people not directly involved in the teams.  This is especially true of a minor sport like ice hockey.  I actually work at a UK university and have done for quite a few years, and I had no idea that we had an ice hockey team until I saw the template at the bottom of this article..... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:11, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
