UCLA Men's Ice Hockey 2026 - 2027

Welcome to UCLA Bruins men’s ice hockey historic 100th season, the program reflects on a century of tradition, resilience, and competitive excellence. Built on a legacy that spans generations of student-athletes, UCLA Hockey has become a cornerstone of club sports at the university, consistently representing the Bruins with pride on and off the ice.

This milestone season is not only a celebration of the past, but a launching point for the future. The continued growth and success of the program is driven by the unwavering support of our fans, alumni, and donors, whose passion has elevated UCLA Hockey to compete at a national level. With your support, we aim to build on this legacy and ensure that the next century of UCLA Hockey is even stronger.

As an entirely player-funded organization, funding efforts are UCLA Ice Hockey’s most pressing issue. Unlike other sports that are located on campus, team members must pay high dues to compensate for equipment, league, travel, and practice fees. The purpose of this campaign is to offset the cost imposed on each player to make UCLA hockey as accessible and affordable as possible!

With your support, we can continue to provide the UCLA community with a competitive collegiate hockey program. Your donation will allow us to expand the accessibility of the club to more students and help grow the sport of hockey in California. Thank you again for contributing to such a vibrant hockey atmosphere for our fans, friends, and families across the nation! 

Go Bruins! 

Where will your donation go?

1. Ice Time (45%): Since ice is not conveniently located on UCLA’s campus, the Bruins must rent ice time and other respective facilities for practices and games. A 1.5 hour practice slot can cost upwards of $600. With a 30-game season from September through February, ice time makes up the majority of our $100,000 budget. 

2. Equipment (25%): Players must purchase their own equipment, much of which is not covered by team dues. Our biggest priority is making sure our athletes are equipped with safe and protective gear. 

3. Travel (25%): The Bruins compete against teams such as ASU, Utah State, Northern Colorado, and Northern Arizona, which requires a substantial amount of travel-related expenses. This includes: airfare, vehicle transportation, food, and hotel accommodations for a roster of 20 skaters and coaches. 

4. League Fees (5%): Although such fees are a small percentage of the total budget, league payments are required for every participating ACHA program.

If you'd like to support and rep the team in style, jersey's are also available for purchase HERE. $50 of each sale goes directly to the team operations fund.
