History

The team was established in the year 2000, with Joe Cranston as the first head coach. The Falcons are a part of the Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (WIAC), which was once a part of the Northern Collegiate Hockey Association (NCHA). However, the WIAC announced in February 2012 that they would be leaving the NCHA due to budgetary reasons, effective for the 2014–15 season.[2] The Falcons have currently joined the WIAC for the most recent seasons. The Falcons have won one national title, going undefeated with a record of 31-0-0 in 2024. [3] The Falcons home arena is Hunt Arena, which opened in 1973 and is still home of the Falcons hockey teams. Cranston is currently the head coach of the Falcons, which have made six NCAA Frozen Four appearances since the program was established.[4] [5]
