Thank you for you interest in CNU Hockey! We are always looking for talented and dedicated players to join our program and keep it growing. If you are interested in joining, please fill out our recruiting form.  CNU Hockey – Join the Tradition CNU Hockey players are proud to be a part of a growing tradition of excellence, performing on the ice as well as in the classroom. Our players come from high school, travel, and junior teams from Virginia to Canada. Practices are intense and include lots of conditioning and game-situation play. Players also have access to and are also expected to utilize the state of the art facilities at the Freeman Center (pictured right) on campus for off-ice conditioning. Academically, our players must meet ACHA standards of eligibility, which means they must take at least 9 credits per semester (6 for grad students) and keep a 2.0 GPA. Just like the varsity teams at CNU, we require all freshmen to attend 4.5 hours of study hall per week in their first semester to ensure that they spend enough time on their studies. School comes first, then hockey. By joining CNU Hockey, our players get more than just the ability to continue playing the sport they love. Team members form strong bonds and participate in many team functions off the ice, from weekly team dinners to fundraising car washes to getting just together to watch some hockey. Being a part of CNU Hockey gives our players the opportunity to represent the University on the ice and be a member of one of the most respected clubs on campus. Throughout the season we will hold Recruit Weekends, where we will invite potential players to tour our campus, stay a night in our dorms, meet our coaches, and come out and skate with the team. Please fill out a recruiting form if you would like to schedule an official recruiting visit.
