The Trent Excalibur men's ice hockey team was a varsity ice hockey program that represented Trent University. The team was active for five seasons over a nine-year span in the 1970s. Currently, Trent supports an extramural ice hockey team at an unofficial level.
History Shortly after the founding of Trent University in 1964, the school began to sponsor ice hockey as a varsity sport. The team began playing in the Ontario Intermediate Athletic Association (OIAA) in 1969. Two years later, amidst a large-scale realignment of conferences in Ontario and Quebec, Trent suspended the program. The team eventually resurfaced in 1975, then as a member of the Ontario University Athletic Association (OUAA). After three relatively unsuccessful seasons, the program was terminated for a second time. As of 2024, Trent has yet to show any intention of restarting the program.
