The St. John's Ice Hockey team achieved varsity status in 1980.
The abrupt end of the St. John’s ice hockey team does not come to mind when talking about the university’s sports. The school is not known for hockey because it currently has no team.
They did have one years ago. From its humble intermittent beginnings in the late 20s to achieving varsity status in 1980. The hockey team had much to be proud of until its end in the 1992 season. Then the team was frozen in time, never progressing like the other sports.
