People keep mentioning the the Stars and Lancers. Let's not forget that in Kearney you have the Tri-City Storm. With that in mind you have a hockey arena in Kearney, also would be pretty easy to put one in the Heartland Events Center in Grand Island. So at least could field high school hockey teams in Kearney, Grand Island, Lincoln and Omaha. In Omaha and Lincoln would definitely have to work with multiple arenas but. Cost for equipment would be the big issue.
