When you think of March, you think of the Arizona Wildcats Basketball team taking part in March Madness, right?! Well, this time around there will be another Arizona Wildcats team competing in March, the hockey team! They will be competing among 20 teams for the ACHA Men’s Division 1 championship Crown.
Postseason appearances are nothing new for the Wildcat’s hockey program. During the “Madhouse on Main Street” days from 1983-2003, when they were known as the Arizona Icecats, they made 21 straight tournament appearances, including eight Final Four appearances and one National Championship in 1985.
In 2011, the hockey team became fully associated with the University of Arizona and became known as the Arizona Wildcats.
