Augustana University recently announced the addition of men’s and women’s club hockey— set to begin in Fall 2024. The announcement comes 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 a part-time assistant coach, with 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 will begin in early October and run through mid March. The first season will consist of approximately 12-15 games, and should the program become part of a conference, competitive seasons would include approximately 28-33 games.
