when did the clarkson golden knights mens hockey team become a team?
1921
clarkson college of technology started its hockey team in 1921, only 25 years after the school's founding. the program played as a club team until the mid 1930s but routinely finished with winning records. in 1937–38 the golden knights completed a 13–1–1 record and were named the us intercollegiate champions. a year later the university opened its first indoor rink, the clarkson arena, which would serve the college until 1991. the program took a slight downturn in the 1940 and then suspended operations for two years due to the outbreak of world war ii but returned to the ice the year after the war ended. when the first college hockey tournament began in 1947 clarkson was in the running for selection but was beaten out for the two eastern slots. three years and one coaching change later, clarkson college became a founding member of the first college ice hockey conference, the tri-state league. the golden knights not only won the conference with a 4–1 record, but because they tied with middlebury, they also participated in the first conference playoff game to determine the sole champion and were victorious. unfortunately the team's 12–2–1 mark was still not good enough to receive an invitation to the ncaa tournament. the program continued to build until they produced a superb 23–0 record in 1956 with ncaa scoring champion ed rowe leading the way. 'tech' finally received an ncaa invitation but it came with a caveat; because eight of their players were 4-year lettermen they would have to sit out the tournament for clarkson to participate. because of this the team voted to pass on the invitation. the golden knights wouldn't have to wait long for their first tournament appearance, however, as they were invited the following year and finished in third place. after a second consecutive third-place head coach bill harrison resigned and turned the team over to len ceglarski. the first few years under ceglarski saw the team's record dip slightly but stating in his third season the golden knights became a constant power in college hockey.
