The Carleton Ravens men's ice hockey team is an active ice hockey program representing the Carleton Ravens athletic department of the Carleton University. The team was organized at least as far back as 1949, playing then at the intermediate level. The team was previously dormant for over 30 years, however, the program has been continually active since 2008. [2]

Carleton during 2013–14 season vs. Windsor Lancers.

Carleton was one of several Canadian universities who were searching for a conference to call after World War II. The Ravens banded together with several nearby teams to form the Ottawa–St. Lawrence Conference (OSLC), including the second team from McGill. Carleton withdrew from play in 1951 but returned the following year, spending another three years in the league before withdrawing again in 1955. Carleton was enticed to return to university hockey with the formation of the Ottawa Intercollegiate Hockey League in 1960 and won the league's inaugural championship. However, the conference dissolved after the season and Carleton returned to the OSLC.

In the interim, Carleton's former conference had risen up to the top level of Canadian university hockey. Carleton found itself competing against teams vying for a spot in the University Cup tournament and they acquitted themselves well upon their return. Carleton parlayed their strong play into a promotion to the Quebec–Ontario Athletic Association (QOAA), one of the top leagues in the nation, in 1968 and immediately made a name for themselves with two playoff appearances in two years. 1971 saw the four existing conferences that shared teams in Quebec and Ontario realigned into two provincial leagues and Carleton was facing many of its former conference opponents once more. Unfortunately, the Ravens tumbled to the bottom of the standings and stayed there for three seasons. In 1974, the school decided to pull the plug and ended the program.

It was 33 years before Carleton played another game of men's ice hockey but the team did finally make its return to the ice in 2007. [3] They were immediately welcomed into Ontario University Athletics, the successor of the QOAA, and were one of the better teams for several years. Carleton made its first appearance at the national tournament in 2014 and have made two more in the years since (as of 2024).
