With the help of Cody Johnson, team president, and head coach Max Graupner, ice hockey has finally made its way to the University of Mississippi as a sanctioned club sport and will begin its official season in Fall 2009 against Middle Tennessee State University at Nashville on October 2.
The IceRebels are in the Western SEC conference of the American Collegiate Hockey Association, a Division III league. Ole Miss will face off against every SEC school (with the exception of Auburn) in the upcoming season, which may consist of up to 20 games continuing into February.
In the ACHA, both the Western and Eastern division finalists go on to face other conference champions throughout the ACHA in the national competition.
The team has high hopes for their first season and expects to go as far as the SEC Championship. However, Johnson sees teams such as No. 4 Tennessee to be a major obstacle in the upcoming season.
“We have really good players, I feel comfortable that we are going to be one of the best in the SEC,” Graupner said. “We want to have a winning season this year and be a competing team in the SEC with a solid fan base.”
