Since the 1920's...

Husky Hockey at the University of Washington is one of the oldest and most distinguished non-varsity programs within the Department of Recreation Sports Program. A student board runs and organizes the club, with assistance from the coaches, players and volunteers. The team is primarily funded by student dues, fundraising and sponsorships. The club
is also a non-profit organization, which allows tax-deductible contributions to help deter the high costs of operating a traveling collegiate team.

Since the 1920s the team has competed against teams locally, regionally and along the entire West Coast. Competitors have ranged from local enthusiasts to other major universities. The Ice Hockey Club at the University of Washington has represented the university proudly both on and off the ice.

In the past five years the team has enjoyed the growth and organization experienced across the nation of non-varsity ice hockey at the collegiate level. By joining such associations as the Intercollegiate PAC-8 Hockey Conference (PAC-8) and the national American Collegiate Hockey Association (ACHA), the team has risen to a caliber and competitiveness of
play close to varsity DIII teams. Husky Hockey travels up and down the West Coast to compete for the PAC-8 conference championship against such teams as Washington State University, Oregon, UCLA, USC, CAL and Stanford. They also vie for the ACHA National Tournament Championship against over 20 teams in the ACHA-West Region and 100 other teams across the United States.

Husky Hockey strikes to bring positive recognition to the university through dedication, hard work, and the exhibition of disciplined hockey. The organization also works towards the promotion and growth of the sport within the community, and provides a successful learning experience for the student-athletes interested in non-profit organizations.
