The ads are asking for the following: "Pro player experience last season and ready to lace them up one more year at the A-level while teaching young players making an average of $500 monthly with Ohio Valley Ice Cats. Team is located on the beautiful campus of Ohio University where a successful club hockey college team has been a national powerhouse with a sellout crowd atmosphere.
