NICA needs states who believe in their way of running operations and who believe in NICA’s success. NICA needs a state who can not only jump on board but do so in a way that makes a powerful statement to other states that NICA is the way to go. Utah makes that powerful statement by moving to Project League for 2012. We are able to save NICA the expenses of overseeing an Emerging League for extended periods and jumping straight to Project League status demonstrates a strong belief in the NICA system. We have done all the work and we are ready to go. Additionally, we feel we can confidently say we will claim the title of being NICA’s largest first-year League with our current number of committed schools. We have had time for non-committed leaders, volunteers and coaches to come and go. Our current committee leaders are in for the long haul. Another positive factor is that the state’s population disbursement will lead to high participation in this state as many race venues will be approximately a one hour drive for most participants. Utah makes a powerful statement from the involvement of key organizations and individuals.

  • Salt Lake Olympic Legacy Remains on Fast Track
    Salt Lake Olympic legacy remains on fast track Skiers during the summer come off the jumps, landing in the pool on the left. Photo/Kathryn Reed Publisher’s note: This is one in a series of stories about Park City, Utah. By Susan Wood PARK CITY, Utah – Hurtling down twists and turns at speeds of 80 mph with complete abandon of the danger if the pilot makes a mistake. The centrifugal force to be reckoned with at 4Gs makes a rookie groan, strain to focus, breath heavy and fight back the wind pushing her head down. I tell myself to sit upright to protect my back, not realizing that after the one minute ride my elbows jammed inside the sled would be the points of my body to have bumps and bruises while gripping the cables seated directly behind the driver, Olympic silver medalist Shauna Rohbock of Orem, Utah. At the Utah Olympic Park built for the 2002 Salt Lake City Games, I stepped into her vehicle of choice to partake in the second fastest bobsled track in the world. The fastest is at Whistler, British Columbia. I held on tight to the confidence my four-member bobsled team thrown together with Rohbock at the helm would come out of the open chute surviving and thriving. Jake (the Olympic Park worker in back) told us how rare it is to experience the track without the shade. The sun can wreck the consistency of the track surface in 15 minutes. The U.S. bobsled team gets ready for the World Cup event in January.
