I'm sure there's lots of players who'd like to get an education while they play.

I always expected U of W to run a hockey program out of MTS Centre... I'm pretty sure that didn't come from nowhere, it was probably mentioned as a selling point for the "True North Centre" back in the day.
But yes, these days realistically it would probably only happen at an on-campus facility controlled by the U of W, not in a NHL building. That would be a pretty nice campus amenity, if they had a rink like the big one at the Iceplex.
