The current team continues to compete in the Atlantic Coast Collegiate Hockey League (ACCHL) which is division II member of the American Collegiate Hockey Association (ACHA). A regular ACHA game consists of three 20 minute periods with ice cuts between each period.Other members of the ACCHL include; Duke, George Mason, Georgetown, North Carolina, NC State and Virginia.
The club is ran by VT students who handle just about every aspect of operations but also have a volunteer coach Michael Spradlin who has been with the team since the 2002 season.
While the University does provide the club with some funding, the majority of the team's budget comes from sponsorships and player dues which vary each year depending on the fiscal status of the team and what is needed for the year.
The Hokies hold tryouts each year early in the Fall semester and encourage any student interested in trying out for the team to fill out the recruitment form found in the recruit section of the website. Even though it is a club sport, the team is as mentioned earlier in a competitive league and therefore will field the best possible team each year and will have to cut players to make up the final roster.
If you have any questions/comments for the team feel free to email any of us through our contact email addresses found in the contact section of the webite.
