The Club hockey team is run by the players who each year elect officers to perform various duties such as budgeting, scheduling, recruiting, fundraising and securing lodging for road trips. We generally have two practices a week and play games on the weekend. This year we have practices at both Yost Arena, which is on campus and at Artic Coliseum located in nearby Chelsea, Michigan. Games are also played at both arenas. The philosophy of the team is a simple one, work hard, have fun and most importantly your studies and academics come first.
