About Union College Hockey

Union College Garnet Chargers hockey competes in NCAA Division I as a member of ECAC Hockey, with roots dating back to the early 20th century. The program’s signature achievement is its 2014 NCAA Division I Men’s Ice Hockey National Championship, when Union defeated Minnesota 7–4 in Philadelphia to claim the title. Key figures tied to Union’s modern era include Rick Bennett, Nate Leaman, and standout players such as Shayne Gostisbehere, Daniel Carr, and Mike Vecchione.

Union plays its home games at Messa Rink at Achilles Center on Union’s campus in Schenectady, New York. Opened in 1975 (with subsequent renovations), the arena seats approximately 2,225. That smaller footprint is a big part of the appeal: the seating bowl keeps fans close to the ice, helping create a loud, home-ice advantage atmosphere—especially for conference weekends and rivalry nights.

In ECAC Hockey, Union’s schedule features matchups that can spike demand, led by the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) Engineers in the Capital District rivalry (the Mayor’s Cup). League battles with Quinnipiac, plus traditional games against Clarkson and St. Lawrence, are also high-interest dates for fans.
