Prospective Graduate Students

The ACHA differs in several ways from the NCAA, including allowing graduate students to play.

ACHA

There are just over 160 men's college hockey programs in the country. The Virginia Tech men's club is one of several ACHA (American Collegiate Hockey Association) programs in the state. The ACHA consists of college clubs from coast to coast; the league is complete with preseason, season, and postseason rankings, a national tournament, and year-end awards, such as All-American teams, etc.

Program Cost

The cost for participating is directly correlated with fundraising and sponsorship efforts. Men's club hockey will work to supply fundraising programs while outside recommendations will be entertained. Players are required to provide their own equipment. Players will be given a team helmet, gloves, shell/pants, track suit, apparel. Variations of these items may be provided by the team and included in the cost of playing. Players can also expect additional costs for some travel expenses.

If you have any other questions about playing you can email one of the club officers listed on the website.
