Lake Superior State ACHA Women’s Hockey
Welcome
2020 marks the Inaugural season for Lake Superior State University’s Women’s club hockey. The team will join the ACHA, Which is the National Governing Body for Non-NCAA Collegiate Hockey throughout the United States. Lake State’s club hockey will compete against an assortment of teams such as Central Michigan, Northern Michigan, Concordia (MI) and Michigan State. The team believes in commitment to serve and improve themselves, the team, school, and the community. This is a great opportunity for students to fulfill their dreams of playing college sports.

This is going to help draw more positive nation-wide attention to the University and give the students a great college experience.” Matt Parker, LSSU Women’s ACHA Head Hockey Coach.
