History

Beginning as a club team, the women's program has seen great success since entering Division I in 1997. Currently, the team has made five Frozen Four appearances in the eight years since the creation of a Women's NCAA Division I tournament. With the women's appearance in inaugural Frozen Four (2001), St. Lawrence became the first school to have both their men and women's programs in the NCAA Division I ice hockey tournament in the same year.[2] The women's team also recorded the first ever win in the history of the NCAA Women's Frozen Four.[3]

The first women's hockey game was played in 1974, as a club program. The women's team transitioned to a Division III program in 1979, and won three consecutive ECAC Division III tournaments in 1990, 1991, and 1992.[4]

Following the 2007–08 season, Head Coach Paul Flanagan left St. Lawrence to a position with Syracuse University. Flanagan was the women's program's all-time winningest coach with a nine-season record of 230–83–24. Then Men's Associate Head Coach, Chris Wells was appointed to replace him[4] and in his first season coached the team to a berth in the national championship tournament with a record of 24–11–3.
