Brock Badgers men's ice hockey

The Brock Badgers men's ice hockey team is an active ice hockey program representing the Brock Badgers athletic department of Brock University. The team has been active since the late 1960s and is currently a member of the Ontario University Athletics conference under the authority of U Sports. The Badgers play at the Canada Games Park in St. Catharines, Ontario.

Team history History Brock founded its ice hockey program in 1967 and joined the Ontario Intercollegiate Athletic Association (OIAA). While the team struggled to win on the ice, the Generals made CIAU history in just their second year. Michael Nicholson was named team captain for the '69 season, becoming the first black player to captain a Canadian college program. In spite of their landmark captain, the team struggled to win for many years. After joining the Ontario University Athletic Association in 1971, the disparity in play only became more stark and Brock went through another five years of futility.

In 1977, after going winless the year before, Brock suddenly produced its first winning season and made their first playoff appearance. Unfortunately, that success was short-lived and the team did not have another winning campaign for 11 years. Once the 1990s rolled around, the Badgers finally found their footing and started looking like they belonged in the conference. While the team found modest success in the early part of the 21st century, it wasn't until 2008 that the Badgers were finally able to make their first appearance in the national tournament.
