Trevor Bast’s Monday, Nov. 17 meeting answered many of athletic director Ken Olynyk’s questions, but the future of WolfPack hockey is no more clear.
According to Bast, the meeting ended with Olynyk notifying the group he would take their proposal to Matt Milovick, TRU’s VP of Finance and Administration, when the VP returned from China after Dec. 2.
“We will continue to pursue financial commitments in the mean time, but it is very discouraging we will not be the ones passionately presenting our proposal to the other decision maker [Milovick], as I will not likely be travelling back for that,” Bast, who lives in Victoria, said in an email to KTW.
Olynyk told KTW the proposal he was presented with was more or less what he expected.
“I think what he’s looking for is for us to endorse the hockey team,” Olynyk said. “I said I couldn’t do that at this time.”
He added the athletics department and the university will need to decide if they want to continue with the summer decision to not pursue hockey, or look at altering it in some form.
