Program Overview

University of Utah runs 2 separate ACHA hockey programs in Salt Lake City, UT — ACHA Division I and ACHA Division II. The combined 2025–26 roster across all programs totals 63 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, Sweden, SUI, Austria. 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.

Junior hockey–heavy roster

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.

Transfer-friendly environment

6 players transferred from other college programs. Whether from D1 ACHA, D2, or elsewhere, this program has a track record of integrating players who started somewhere else.
