History of Alabama Hockey

The Alabama Hockey Club was founded in 2005 by the University of Alabama students. The team is now in its twelfth season and plays all of its home games in Pelham, AL at the Pelham Civic Complex. The organization is managed by the University of Alabama students.

The program elevated its status to ACHA Division I in 2015 and now competes at the highest level of ACHA college hockey. Alabama is one of two SEC schools to have a program competing at this level. 

Last season the team attended the CHF National Championship in West Chester, Pennsylvania. They achieved this by performing well in the regular season and setting up a GoFundMe for people to donate money so that transportation, hotels, and so much more could be provided. This was a necessary step the team had to take in order to ensure that they could go to Nationals because they do not receive any funding from the university.
