Saint Xavier University is proud to introduce club sports for students who are interested in competing at a collegiate level! Recreational club sports differ from standard athletic sports in that you'll be developing and exercising skills through tournaments and games without an NAIA affiliation.

Continue your hockey career in college with the Saint Xavier University Men's Hockey
Club! Play with a team of skilled players as you prepare to compete against other
college and university teams as part of the American Collegiate Hockey Association
Division II.
