The Canton Kangaroos is the women's ice hockey team representing the State University of New York of Technology at Canton. The school is located in Canton, New York. Both teams play out of the SUNY Canton Athletic and Recreation Center, the "CARC". which was completed in 2011.

Women's Program
The women's program became a Division III Independent for the 2013-14 season. The team remained an independent in 2014-15 before joining the Colonial Hockey Conference for the 2015-16 season. The team would then join the Northeast Women's Hockey League for the 2019-20 season.

Team nickname
The school chose the nickname Kangaroos in 2006 when the school was reclassified as a four year college. The unusual nickname was chosen with the logic that a Kangaroo can't go backwards they only move forward and are aggressive animals and congregate in mobs and are able to adapt to situations

The nickname is shortened to the "Roos".
