The University Archives announces that the records of the UIC Hockey Program, including media guides, player biographies, statistics, game summaries and photographs, are now available for research.
The University of Illinois at Chicago Circle (UICC), as it was then called, first fielded a varsity hockey team in 1966. UICC competed in the Midwest Intercollegiate Hockey League, composed of Illinois colleges, and won back-to-back league titles in 1968 and 1969. In 1970, the UIC hockey team left the local league and began competing against other independent college-division teams from Illinois, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan. Left wing Clive Wang was UICC’s first All-American in 1970. In 1982, the UIC Flames hockey team joined the Central Collegiate Hockey Association, an NCAA Division I conference, and played games at the UIC Pavilion. The program was discontinued in 1996.
The guide to the records of the Hockey Program is available online.
