About

Team Info

The Minnesota Men's Club hockey team plays in the Division II league of the American Collegiate Hockey Association, or the ACHA.  Typically, tryouts are held in mid-September, and the season runs from early October thru the end of February.  The National Championship tournament is typically held the first weekend in March.  Everyone who is a full-time student at the University of Minnesota is welcome to tryout with the team.  Home games are played at Mariucci Arena (pictured right) on campus, and road trips can be as far the lower and eastern Midwest, including Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, Iowa, Kentucky, and Indiana.  We are also a member of the Western Collegiate Club Hockey Association, with St. Thomas, Minnesota State-Mankato, St. Cloud State, St. Olaf, University of Wisconsin-Madison, and Michigan Tech.  Typically, we play about 25 games, but may expand our schedule as the year goes on.

Recruiting

The Minnesota Men's Club Hockey Team is a competitive team at the ACHA Division II level.  We do play strong Division I teams each year, along with other D-II teams.  At the beginning of each year (mid-late September) we hold tryouts at Mariucci Arena.  We do not recruit players or guarantee spots for incoming freshman or transfers; if you perform the best in tryouts then a deserving spot awaits you here on the Club.  For any questions regarding the team or tryouts, contact Evan Jeszka (jeszk001@umn.edu - 262.378.0994).
