Davenport University runs 3 separate ACHA hockey programs in Grand Rapids, MI — ACHA Division I, ACHA Division II, and ACHA Division III. The combined 2025–26 roster across all programs totals 47 players. Each program operates independently with its own roster, coaching staff, and schedule.
What sets this roster apart is its international composition — 7 players from outside the United States, representing Canada. That kind of international reach is unusual for a club-level hockey program and speaks to active recruiting or strong word-of-mouth in those markets.
