The Illinois Fighting Illini men's ice hockey team is an ACHA Division I college ice hockey program that represents the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign as an independent team. The Illini play on-campus at the historic 1,500-seat University of Illinois Ice Arena. The university does not currently have an NCAA varsity team, and thus the club team, which operates as a registered student organization (RSO), is the highest level of hockey offered by the university.
The school also hosts an ACHA Division II team that is part of the Mid-American Collegiate Hockey Association (MACHA).
