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).

The Falcons have not won a national title, but have made appearances in the NCAA tournament in the years: 2003, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015.[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 three NCAA Frozen Four appearances since the program was established.[4][5]
