The University of Toledo club hockey team has been approved to make the jump to the top division of the American Collegiate Hockey Association.
The Rockets, who compete as an independent in Division II of the ACHA, will elevate to Division I status starting with the 2018-19 season.
“We’re extremely excited to be accepted into that division and to have the rest of the membership inside of the ACHA Division I consider us worthy to be up at that level,” said Greg Urig, general manager of the UT hockey program. “We’re really excited to bring an even better brand of hockey to the university and the surrounding community.
