St. Norbert College will call MCHA home

June 19, 2012 By

St. Norbert College has found its new home for men’s college hockey. 

After five UW-Schools left the NCHA last February, the Green Knights had to find a new league to play in.  They selected the Midwest Collegiate Hockey Association (MCHA), joining schools like Lawrence University, Marian College and the Milwaukee School of Engineering. 

The Green Knights are coming off back-to-back NCAA Division III National Championships. 

The Knights captured 13 NCHA regular season titles, including 10 of the last 11. 

The move to the MCHA takes effect in the 2013-14 season.
