Editorial: UNC Ice Hockey is earning well-deserved respect

The Carolina Athletic Association is a student organization which serves as the liaison between the athletic department and the student body. Its most prominent role is operating the men’s basketball and football ticket lotteries.

It represents the students’ interest to the athletic department and promotes UNC varsity sports. The CAA president, who is elected each February, is a member of the athletic council.

Other events organized by the CAA include Homecoming Week, Beat Dook Week, Late Night with Roy and Chancellor Michael Hooker Memorial 5k Race. Carolina Fever, UNC’s largest fan club, was part of CAA until the groups split in 2009.
