Over the last four years, the Canisius Hockey program has continued a tradition of success. As a comprehensive program, the Crusaders have four competitive teams: Varsity Federation, Varsity Club, JV Federation, JV Club (Teams Blue and Gold), as well as a modified hockey program in the Spring. Most recently, the Varsity Federation team won both the Monsignor Martin Championship and the New York State Championship in 2013, and returned to the Monsignor Martin League Championship the next two years. The Varsity Club team also won the state championship that same year and has won the club league championship as recently as last season.

The hockey team will travel for tournaments, meet Section 6 teams, and of course engage in league play against St. Joes. Players are offered the opportunity and encouraged to participate in off season training, including on and off the ice activities and camps. In addition, the teams are involved in multiple community/volunteer events, participate in retreats, and represent all the ideals important to becoming Canisius gentlemen.
