Yale University Women's Ice Hockey

Yale University women's ice hockey (YWIH) is an NCAA Division I varsity ice hockey program at Yale University in New Haven, CT. The roots of the Yale University ice hockey program date back to 1975 when the team, at first, competed as a club team. Only 2 years later the program elevated its status to be a varsity team in the 1977-78 season [ [http://yalebulldogs.cstv.com/sports/w-hockey/history.html Yale University Bulldogs, Official Athletic Site ] ] . That makes YWIH one of the oldest varsity women's ice hockey programs in the country.

Yale competes in the ECACHL along with Ivy League foes Harvard, Princeton, Cornell, Dartmouth and Brown.

Current head coach is Hilary Witt who has been serving in the head coaching position since the 2002-03 season. Harold Rosenholtz and Kimberly Mathias serve as associate head coach and assistant coach respectively.

Both the Yale men's and women's ice-hockey teams play at Ingalls Rink, also known as "The Whale".
