The University of Toledo Hockey Team, former 1992 ACHA Division II National Champions, are current members of the American Collegiate Hockey Association (ACHA) Division II.  The ACHA is the national governing body for non-NCAA college hockey in the United States.  The UT Hockey Team is not sanctioned by varsity athletics and therefore, there are no scholarships offered by the university.  This is why the team is commonly referred to as a club sport.  We represent the university like any varsity sport, traveling across the Midwest to play other colleges and universities however, we are responsible for our nearly $60,000 annual budget.  This cost is paid in part by the players themselves through dues and fundraising.  Team donations and player sponsorships are also accepted and greatly appreciated.  Players on the team must also be enrolled in nine credit hours per semester and maintain a 2.0 minimum grade point average in order to be eligible to play in the ACHA. 

 

The ACHA was first established in 1991 in an attempt to provide non-NCAA college hockey programs with guidance and leadership on and off the ice. The ACHA has grown from the original 13 teams in 1991 to over 300 colleges and universities competing across North America in three male and two female divisions.  Every sanctioned ACHA program is eligible for the ACHA Regional and National Championship Tournament, which are hosted on the first and second weekends in March every year.  Besides belonging to the ACHA, the team is also a member of a conference known as the Tri-State Collegiate Hockey League (TSCHL). The TSCHL is comprised of 9 teams. The Rockets, University of Akron, University of Cincinnati, University of Dayton, Indiana University of Pennsylvania, Ohio University, University of Pittsburgh, West Virginia University, and Wright State University.  The conference also holds its own annual tournament at a different location each year according to team bids.    

 

The Rocket Hockey program has drastically improved within the past five seasons, consistently playing a 30-35 game schedule against other top universities and colleges in North America.  These schools include the likes of The Ohio State University, the University of Pittsburgh, the University of Michigan, Central Michigan, Miami Ohio, Ohio University, Ferris State, Youngstown, and of course Bowling Green State University. Some of these schools do not have NCAA programs due to Title Nine or other funding issues. Others simply have club teams in addition to their varsity hockey programs because of the overwhelming interest in the sport at those particular schools. Thus, if you are serious about the sport of ice hockey and want to continue your skills and playing experience at the collegiate level, The University of Toledo is the right school for you!  If have any questions or concerns about the University of Toledo Hockey Team, please feel free to contact Greg Urig, General Manager, at  greglurig@yahoo.com or check out the website: www.utoledohockey.com
