Coach Thompson led the Tigers to many memorable victories, and nearly every home game was sold out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Big things are on the horizon for hockey at Mizzou. We recently announced the formation of Mizzou Club Hockey\u2019s&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.columbiamissourian.com\/sports\/mizzou-hockey-to-launch-womens-team\/article_a01f95ff-2d35-4d3e-914b-e737586c3b23.html\">first-ever women\u2019s team<\/a>, reflecting a continued commitment to growth.
