{allcanada} SMU women's hockey clears hurdle

 

The executive of the board of governors at Saint Mary's University voted Tuesday morning to keep the women's hockey team.

The decision paves the way for a vote by the entire board tonight.

CBC News has learned that private donors made a long-term commitment to the women's hockey program.

The university had said it couldn't afford the $120,000 program.

Last week, university president Colin Dodds said the school was "pausing" its decision to see if there was community support. He said a three-year commitment would be ideal.

A rally in support of the program drew nearly 200 people, including athletes from Dalhousie University and other rival schools.
