New York University fields a ACHA Division I hockey program in New York, NY. The 2025–26 roster carries 31 players, making it a mid-size program within its division.
What sets this roster apart is its international composition — 6 players from outside the United States, representing Russia, Canada, CHN, HKG. 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.
Over 48% of this roster came through junior hockey circuits. Players here have typically spent one or more seasons in competitive junior programs before choosing college hockey — a meaningful indicator of prior competitive experience.
With a 9.2% acceptance rate, this is among the most academically selective programs in ACHA. The hockey and academic bars are both genuinely high — players who succeed here typically have strong profiles on both fronts.
