“The players from the original program ignited a passion for ice hockey at the College,” said Art Chill, General Manager. “For three decades, their camaraderie and loyalty have kept the spirit alive as players have returned from all over the country each spring to play in the annual alumni game. The new program has become a reality in large part because of their support and dedication.”

The team is a Division III club, like the rest of the college’s athletic teams.
