The school's team currently competes in the Central Collegiate Hockey Association, although it competed in the Western Collegiate Hockey Association between 1959 and 1981.[3] The team has played in 20 consecutive NCAA Men's Division I Ice Hockey Tournaments, dating back to 1991; this is an NCAA record.[3] The Wolverines have won an NCAA-record nine Division I NCAA Men's Ice Hockey Championships,[3] seven of which came during a 17-year stretch between 1948 and 1964. Two more championships were won under current head coach Red Berenson in 1996 and 1998.[3]

Michigan has had many successes as a program including a record-setting number of championships, total championship tournament appearances, and consecutive tournament appearances. Players from the program have earned numerous honors, professional championships, international championships, individual statistical championships, team and individual records. The team is currently led by Berenson, who for nearly fifty years has continued to hold the school single-season goal scoring record and who for over thirty years was the only alumnus of the program to have won a Stanley Cup. The program has dozens of National Hockey League alumni and over twenty current players.
