About the Team
The NMU Women's Hockey Team was established in 2000. We are a member of the CCWHA (Central Collegiate Women's Hockey Association) Division II, which includes Michigan State University, University of Notre Dame, Loyola University of Chicago, Central Michigan University, Adrian College, and Miami-Ohio University. We are also a part of the ACHA (American Collegiate Hockey Association) which is an organization of over 461 college and university affiliated programs that provides structure, regulates operations, and promotes the quality of collegiate ice hockey. In addition to playing teams within our conference, we also schedule games against other Division I and II programs within the CCWHA/ACHA. As a team, we care deeply about one another and prioritize having a positive attitude. We are all very committed, hard working individuals who are always looking to improve ourselves and to uplift one another.

Details
Dues: Dues are around $2500 depending on the number of players each year. This covers ice time, conference/league dues, and referees in addition to transportation and lodging. However, players are expected to purchase team warm-ups, team pant covers and pay for their meals on road trips. Members are also required to keep the Student Recreation Fee that is included in tuition and fees as it is required both Fall and Winter semesters.
Participants Must Supply: All of their own hockey equipment. Each player is required to have a black helmet, and green or black gloves. Jerseys and socks are provided by the team.
Travel: Generally includes Southern Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois, Ohio, and Canada. The team occasionally travels on Fridays, so if possible we recommend that players do not schedule Friday classes.
