The Bishop's Gaiters men's ice hockey team is an active ice hockey club team made up of students attending Bishop's University. The team was organized as a varsity program at least as far back as 1925, playing until 1982. The dormant prgram was resurrected as an unofficial club team in 2010.[2]

History

Bishop's ice hockey team first appeared in the Intermediate Intercollegiate Series (second tier) in 1925. Early on, the Gaiters were one of the better teams, winning four division titles in their first seven seasons. The team declined over the course of the 1930s and were forced to suspend play after the outbreak of World War II. Because the IIS did not return after the war, Bishop's was one of several smaller colleges that were left without a home in the late 40's. After playing as an independent for a few years, Bishop's joined with seven other nearby teams and formed the Ottawa–St. Lawrence Conference (OSLC). The league grew in status throughout the 1950s and, by the time that the first University Cup was held, the OSLC champion was one of four teams invited to participate.

Unfortunately, the Gaiters did not see much success for many years, often finishing near the bottom of the standings. It wasn't until 1967 that Bishop's was able to make a postseason appearance, though they remained competitive thereafter. 1971, the conferences were realigned along provincial lines with Bishop's placed into the Quebec Universities Athletic Association. The Gaiters made the postseason most years, however, the team didn't win a single playoff game. Additionally, by the early 80s, the team had slid down the standings and was no longer a threat to the conference leaders. The lack of on-ice success convinced the school that the program was no longer worth supporting and they mothballed the team in 1982.

Almost 30 years later, Kevin Gagnon brought men's ice hockey back to Bishop's. While the university permitted the club to wear the school colors, they have yet to formally support the team (as of 2024).
