Saint Anselm College fields 2 hockey programs in Manchester, NH — ACHA Division II and NCAA Division III. The combined 2025–26 roster across all programs totals 61 players. Each program operates independently with its own roster, coaching staff, and schedule.
The pipeline leans heavily on junior hockey experience — 43% of players arrived from Tier I, II, or III junior programs. That rate is well above average and suggests a coaching staff that actively targets players coming through competitive junior hockey rather than going straight from high school.
4 players came through prep school programs before arriving here — a higher rate than most ACHA Division II programs. These are players who invested seriously in hockey development before college.
With a 78.0% acceptance rate and average SAT of 1201, the academic bar is accessible for most student-athletes who want to play college hockey without sacrificing program quality.
