Description

Ice hockey was once established at the University of New Hampshire in 1914, but the first team was once short-lived. Ten years later, football coach Hank Swasey put together a team that marked the official beginning of intercollegiate ice hockey at UNH. Wildcat Hockey: Ice Hockey at the University of New Hampshire documents the early years of this system with photographs of players, more than a few outside rinks, and horse drawn ice scrapers. After a four-year absence all through World War II, ice hockey returned to UNH in 1947.

Wildcat Hockey includes photographs of the colorful players, whose success was once enhanced by the installation of the first artificial ice rink in 1955 and the opening of Snively Arena in 1965. The hiring of coach Charlie Holt in 1968 and the transition to Division I marked a new era in ice hockey at UNH, as did the creation of its first women’s ice hockey team in 1977. Wildcat Hockey provides a visual record of the exploits of the women and men who have put UNH at the collegiate ice hockey map. Their efforts are marked by the move to the Whittemore Center in 1995, to the 1998 Women’s National Championship, and to regular trips to the Frozen Four for both teams. This collection draws at the wealthy photographic sources in the university archives and the campus photographic products and services.
