Recruitment | Men's Hockey Club

About the Program

Minnesota Men's Club Hockey is a student-run organization competing at the ACHA Division II level which is the second highest tier of collegiate club hockey in the country. We play a full 30+ game schedule against programs across the Midwest Conference and beyond, including travel to face top-ranked programs nationally.

Our players are students first. We recruit skaters who are serious about the game but are pursuing their degree at the University of Minnesota. You'll practice three to four times per week, travel for weekend series, and represent one of the most storied hockey states in the country.

We are self-funded through dues, donations, and sponsorships. Players are responsible for their own equipment and a portion of program costs, which our coaching staff works hard to keep reasonable through active fundraising.
