Mizzou Club Hockey celebrates more than 50 years on the ice
Feb. 23, 2026

I recently attended Mizzou Club Ice Hockey’s final game of the season, where they decisively defeated the Creighton University Bluejays in front of more than 500 fans.
Mizzou Club Hockey has been a part of campus for 51 years, and the program has experienced exciting recent growth. Beginning this season, the team was led by Head Coach – and Cole County Prosecuting Attorney – Locke Thompson, who also played during his time at Mizzou. Coach Thompson led the Tigers to many memorable victories, and nearly every home game was sold out.
Big things are on the horizon for hockey at Mizzou. We recently announced the formation of Mizzou Club Hockey’s first-ever women’s team, reflecting a continued commitment to growth. The club also continues to build awareness and support for the hockey community in Columbia.
Mizzou Club Hockey is a Club Sport within MizzouRec. Students interested in getting involved can reach out through the organization’s page.
Congratulations to Coach Thompson and all our student-athletes!
