The Binghamton Bearcats men's ice hockey team is a future athletic program that will potentially represent Binghamton University in NCAA Division I ice hockey. As of April 2023, the school is planning to have the team play its first games during the 2024-25 athletic season. [2]
In 1987, Binghamton fielded its first varsity ice hockey team. The club was a member of the ECAC West, a Division III conference that was home to several other New York schools. After decent results in their first season, an NCAA-required transition year, the club fell on hard times, going winless over the following two seasons. The team was finally able to win again during their fourth season but the Bearcats remained near the bottom of the conference standings. After 5 years and little to show for their efforts, the program was shuttered for financial reasons. [3]
In April 2023, Binghamton AD Gene Marshall announced that the school was planning to add both Division I men's ice hockey and women's field hockey for the 2024-25 athletic season. [2] If the plan comes to fruition, the Bearcats would be the 65th D-I program at the time of their first game.
