UMBAA Sheep Hockey Team |
Welcome to the official site of the UMBAA Sheep Hockey Team. About half of the team are members of the University of Michigan Band Alumni Association. The Sheep name comes from the "BAA" part of the UMBAA acronym. We play hockey in the Ann Arbor Adult Hockey Association. Spring 2009 is our 13th season, and we will be in a Never-Ever league. The only requirement for being on our team is that you pay your fees on time. We play at the Ann Arbor Ice Cube.

2/11/04: Our artist-in-residence, Anne Fischer, has composed a
fight song for us. The tune is the Minnesota
Rouser, and the words are:
U-M Baa Sheep hats off to thee!
To our Shepherd true we will
ever be!
Sturdy, strong, well padded
are we!
Baa Baa Hockey Sheep
Baa Baa Hockey Sheep
Hats off to the skating flock!

You can get more information on the team by sending an email to the Shepherd. Joe's address is jgregoria a.t gmail d.o.t com. You'll have to un-obfuscate the address yourself.
In case you need to justify our name, here is an excerpt from the Hockey Hall of Fame Website on the origins on the name "Hockey":
When the sport now known as hockey began to emerge in Canada, it had no official name. It was being referred to variously as Hurley, Wicket, Ricket and Break-Shins. Much like the birth of the game itself, the origin of the word "hockey" is controversial. There is one school of thought that claims the word is derivative of the French word "hoquet" which means a shepherd's crook. However, in the town of Windsor, Nova Scotia, considered one of the birthplaces of the game, a story has long circulated regarding a Colonel Hockey, stationed at the garrison on Fort Edward. The Colonel used the game to keep his troops conditioned, and the game soon adopted his name, as many referred to these workouts as "Hockey's Game." Though there is no official documentation backing either claim, timing lends credence to the Colonel's story. The British Army list, housed in the Library of Nova Scotia's General Assembly in Halifax, lists a John Hockey serving in the mid-1800s when the name of the game was adopted.
Also, here is a link to some information on jersey numbers.
