Traffic Jam: Most UNHers think of the Whittemore Center's skating rink as the home for Wildcat ice hockey, as indeed it is. But the rink also accommodates a host of other sports, including club ice hockey, the Skating Club, pick-up hockey and broomball (above). More than 1,800 students in 160 teams play broomball, a sport that requires no special skills or equipment--only a hankering for some fun and energy to burn. The adjacent Rec Center is a beehive of activity throughout the school year, with thousands of students stopping by for workouts and 27 organized sports clubs. In one week in late January, 16,000 students, faculty, staff and community members used the center, says David Leach, assistant director of facilities. "If you build it," he says, "they will come."
