The Macdonald Clansmen ice hockey team was an ice hockey team representing the Macdonald Campus of McGill University. The team was organized after World War II as an intermediate program, independent of the clubs at the parent college of McGill University, and existed until the 1970s.

History

In the late 1940s, several smaller schools in Ontario and Quebec began organizing a conference at the intermediate (second tier) level of play. With McGill's second team helping arrange the new league, the affiliated agricultural college at the Macdonald Campus agreed to take part and was one of eight founding members. The Clansmen played two seasons in the league before withdrawing from competition but did eventually return towards the end of the decade. In the early 60s, the Ottawa–St. Lawrence Conference (OSLC) grew in prominence and was one among the best leagues in Canada, however, Macdonald was not able to keep pace. The Clansmen finished at or near the bottom of the standings in most seasons but the team soldiered on despite the lack of on-ice success.

In 1971, McGill leased a portion of the Macdonald Campus to the new John Abbott College.^[1] Though Macdonald still continued at the time, the school decided to discontinue the ice hockey program as McGill began to move its faculty to the downtown campus.^[2] Macdonald returned to the ice for a one-year swan song in 1973 and finished winless in 18 games.
