Mercyhurst University runs 2 separate ACHA hockey programs in Erie, PA — ACHA Division I and ACHA Division II. The combined 2025–26 roster across all programs totals 39 players. Each program operates independently with its own roster, coaching staff, and schedule.
What sets this roster apart is its international composition — 4 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.
