2024–25 St. Thomas Tommies men's ice hockey season
American college ice hockey team
The 2024–25 St. Thomas Tommies men's ice hockey season is the 101st season of play for the program, the 4th in Division I and the 4th in the CCHA . The Tommies represent the University of St. Thomas (Minnesota) , play their home games at the St. Thomas Ice Arena and are coached by Enrico Blasi in his 4th season.
Season
St. Thomas enters their 4th season in Division 1 with higher expectations after a 2nd place finish in the CCHA the year before, by far their best in the league since moving from Division III. They have been on an upward trajectory since the move, winning 3 games in 2021-22, 11 in 2022-23, and 15 in 2023-24. They return 22 players from the prior season's roster, which is much higher than 13, 11, and 15 in 21-22, 22-23, and 23-24 respectively. They also return 6 of their top 7 point scorers from last season.[ 1]
The program also has plenty to look forward to with the construction of Lee and Penny Anderson Arena that is expected to be ready to host games by the 2025-26 season,[ 2] NCHC beginning in 2026-27.[ 3]
