A founding member of the [[Hockey East]] athletic conference, the Huskies' men's hockey team has generally met with mediocre success. The Huskies had their most success in the 1980s, when the team won the prestigious [[Beanpot (Ice Hockey)|Beanpot]] tournament four times (the only times Northeastern has captured the Beanpot) and was the runner-up twice. Its best season came in 1982, when the Huskies finished 25-9-2 and made it to the NCAA [[Frozen Four]]. They also won the Hockey East championship in 1988, and made appearances in the NCAA hockey tournament in 1988, 1994, and 2009.
  +
  +
The program's most notable coach was ex-[[Boston Bruins|Boston Bruin]] and [[Hockey Hall of Famer]] [[Fern Flaman]], who was the head coach between 1970 and 1989. The team's current coach is ex-[[New York Islanders]]' farm system coach [[Greg Cronin]]. Cronin is about to enter his fifth season as coach, having compiled a 55-69-19 record in his first four seasons.
  +
  +
Some of the more notable individual players in team history are [[Art Chisholm]], [[Ray Picard]] and [[Bruce Racine]], each two-time All-Americans; and [[Sandy Beadle]], [[Jim Fahey]] and [[Jason Guerriero]], each a one-time All-American who was also a [[Hobey Baker Award]] finalist. Chisholm is the leading career goal scorer for the Huskies with 100, while [[Jim Martel]] is the career scoring leader with 210 points. The most notable goaltenders in team history are Racine and [[Keni Gibson]], who between them hold most school career records. [[Brad Thiessen]], who turned professional after his junior year (2009), broke Gibson's school record with eight career shutouts by his sophomore season and had been threatening several career goaltending records.

  +
==Notable alumni==
  +
Northeastern players who have gone on to significant professional hockey careers have included [[David Poile]] '71, long time general manager of the NHL [[Washington Capitals]] and current general manager of the NHL [[Nashville Predators]], [[St. Louis Blues (ice hockey)|St. Louis Blues]] goaltender and two-time All-American [[Bruce Racine]] '88, NHL defenseman [[Dan McGillis]], [[Montreal Canadiens]] winger [[Chris Nilan]], and [[Chicago Blackhawks]] defenseman and [[Hobey Baker Award]] finalist [[Jim Fahey]] '02.

Men's program

A founding member of the Hockey East athletic conference, the Huskies' men's hockey team has generally met with mediocre success. The Huskies had their most success in the 1980s, when the team won the prestigious Beanpot tournament four times (the only times Northeastern has captured the Beanpot) and was the runner-up twice. Its best season came in 1982, when the Huskies finished 25-9-2 and made it to the NCAA Frozen Four. They also won the Hockey East championship in 1988, and made appearances in the NCAA hockey tournament in 1988, 1994, and 2009.

The program's most notable coach was ex-Boston Bruin and Hockey Hall of Famer Fern Flaman, who was the head coach between 1970 and 1989. The team's current coach is ex-New York Islanders' farm system coach Greg Cronin. Cronin is about to enter his fifth season as coach, having compiled a 55-69-19 record in his first four seasons.

Some of the more notable individual players in team history are Art Chisholm, Ray Picard and Bruce Racine, each two-time All-Americans; and Sandy Beadle, Jim Fahey and Jason Guerriero, each a one-time All-American who was also a Hobey Baker Award finalist. Chisholm is the leading career goal scorer for the Huskies with 100, while Jim Martel is the career scoring leader with 210 points.

Brad Thiessen, who turned professional after his junior year (2009), broke Gibson's school record with eight career shutouts by his sophomore season and had been threatening several career goaltending records.
