Club Hockey at AU

Augustana University announced the addition of men’s and women’s club hockey in Fall 2024. The announcement came after the construction of Midco Arena, which provides the unique opportunity for club hockey games to be played on Augustana’s campus.

The Augustana Club Hockey Program consists of Head Coach Ben Prisbe and Assistant Coach Nathan Miller, with up to 25 players on each team. The program will apply to play at the Division II level, and later apply for membership into a conference.

The club hockey season began in early October and will run through mid March. The inaugural season consists of approximately 12-15 games, and should the program become part of a conference, competitive seasons will include approximately 28-33 games.

Meet the Assistant Coach

Nathan Miller, of Sioux Falls, grew up playing hockey mentored by his two older brothers and father — a former hockey player and native of Owatonna, Minnesota.

He also spent multiple seasons playing Midget AAA in Des Moines, Iowa, and Sioux Falls. Miller went on to play a stint in the North American Hockey League (NAHL) with the Minot Minotauros and Aberdeen Wings before foregoing his playing career to pursue a degree in engineering. Miller graduated from South Dakota State University (SDSU) in 2021, where he completed a civil engineering degree and now works as a structural engineer at RISE Structural Associates in Sioux Falls.
