The Moncton Aigles Bleus ice hockey team is an ice hockey team representing the Moncton Aigles Bleus athletics program of Université de Moncton. The team is a member of the Atlantic University Sport conference and compete in U Sports. The team plays their home games at the J. Louis Levesque Arena in Moncton, New Brunswick.

History Just 2 years after the founding of the Université de Moncton, the school began sponsoring men's ice hockey as a varsity sport. The Aigles Bleus (Blue Eagles) had a difficult time getting off the ground, remaining at or near the bottom of the standings for their first 8 seasons. 1973 saw not only the program's first winning season but also its first playoff appearance. The team steadily built itself into a power over the remainder of the decade and won four consecutive league championships in the early 1980s. During that stretch, the Aigles won back-to-back national championships, the second of which came in front of their home fans. For the rest of the 20th century, Moncton was one of the top colleges in the Maritimes, winning five more AUAA titles and 2 more national crowns.

Since the start of the 21st century, Moncton has come back to earth. Since they won two league titles in the mid 00s, the team had been a middling program and has produced more losing seasons than winning ones.

St. Joseph's The University of Moncton was formed by the amalgamation of three colleges in 1963. One of those three schools, the University of St. Joseph's College, had previous fielded a varsity ice hockey team. The records for St. Joseph's are incomplete and muddled as the program also competed as a senior team during their existence.
