College Hockey South (CHS) is proud to announce the addition of the College Hockey South Women’s Division. Starting in the 2023 – 2024 season, CHS will welcome the women’s teams from Auburn University, University of Miami, University of South Florida and University of Tampa.

 

“This is a great opportunity for us to expand our league and be more inclusive of college athletes passionate about hockey,” CHS Commissioner Kyle Knell said. “I am very excited for the addition of the women’s division. Women’s college hockey is primarily prevalent in the north, and I believe this opens the door for continued growth of hockey in the south.”

 

University of Georgia and University of South Carolina are also in the process of formalizing their teams for the upcoming 2023 – 2024 season. 

 

“We are excited to partner with these schools and look forward to what the future holds,” Knell said.
