Bradley explained The Utes switched from senior team competition a year ago to strictly club opponents tilts season ' Our playing ability has improved 100 percent over a year ago and so we decided to go with opponents like Arizona Colorado U., Northern Arizona. Southern Cal. Colorado State and Northern Arizona "It's just better competition than senior teams and to build a program, you have to make progress. I know it sounds repetitive, but a lack of funds keeps us from the ice time we need to be really competitive with these other club teams. It's like any other level of hockey. The conditioning factor is so important," Bradley opined. Members of the Ute team include Goalies Rothey and Steve Welch (whose dad.
