The Forester Men's HockeyProgram
"Challenging" best describes Lake Forest Hockey.
Despite competing against larger institutions, the Foresters are recognized
as a premier college hockey program. Finishing as high as second in the
nation in 1978, Lake Forest has appeared in post-season play 19 of the
past 26 seasons, including a 1991 NCAA quarterfinal appearance. The 1992-93
season marked a historic moment in Forester hockey when the school joined
the NCHA, which has produced 15 national champions since 1982. The Foresters, who have produced 15 All-Americans,
field varsity and junior varsity teams and compete in their own on-campus
rink.
