After five long years of fans wondering why their beloved team was canceled, the BYU administration finally revealed their reasoning for discontinuing the school’s long running hockey team.

 

Administration released a rambling statement, citing concerns over thirst trap edits being made of the players as one of their prime reasons.

 

“We couldn’t let the fujoshis come and ogle our hockey players like that.”

 

Local students have expressed outrage, complaining that the trip to Salt Lake to watch an Utah Mammoths game takes far too long. Sophomore and self-identified fujoshi Kinsleigh Huff had this to say.

 

“God forbid a girl wants to go to the boy aquarium.”

 

Upon being asked for a statement, super senior and former player Jaxon Briggs stated the following:

 

“All I’m saying is if they didn’t want us to kiss the homies, they should’ve given us full face shields.”

 

It seems that this announcement has only unearthed old griefs amongst the hockey fandom in Provo. Perhaps one day the Cougars will return to Peaks Ice Arena once more. Until then, they will have to be satisfied with getting uncomfortably close to the campus of the University of Utah to watch a Mammoth game instead.
