UCLA Bruins men's ice hockey

Before the school was even called 'UCLA', the ice hockey program was formed, joining several other local teams including USC and Occidental. The team continued for several years despite the Great Depression being in full force. In the late 1930s a new arena was built for the Los Angeles programs but World War II forced all of the pacific coast teams to shutter their programs in the early '40s. When teams were reconstituted afterwards, UCLA was not among the programs to resurface and the new arena, the Tropical Ice Gardens, was demolished in 1949.{{cite web |url=https://uclaclubsports.com/sports/2016/8/22/ucla-mens-ice-hockey-history.aspx |title=UCLA Men's Ice Hockey History |work=UCLA Bruins |accessdate=May 22, 2021}}

UCLA eventually returned to the ice in 1961 but only as a club sport. Until recently, it played against many of its former varsity opponents in the Pac-8.{{cite web |url=https://pac8hockey.com/ |title=Pac-8 Hockey |work=Pacific 8 Intercollegiate Hockey Conference |accessdate=May 22, 2021}}

Currently, UCLA plays in the West Coast Hockey Conference in the Tier 1 division against rivals like Loyola Marymount, Long Beach State, Grand Canyon, Northern Arizona, Arizona State, and others. They've made back to back appearances at the ACHA Men's D2 Western Region playoffs. They are currently coached by former player Griffin McCarty, son of the Detroit Red Wings legend Darren McCarty and Sean Allen, a former Hamilton College men's hockey player.

Historically, UCLA and USC have faced off in an annual 5-game series dubbed "The Crosstown Cup". Up until the COVID-19 pandemic, one of the games took place at the Staples Center in downtown Los Angeles.

Note: UCLA used the same color scheme as the University of California, Berkeley until 1949.{{cite news |last=Rose |first=Adma |title=Wear blue, thank you |date=August 27, 2008 |newspaper=Los Angeles Times |url=http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/bruin/2008/08/wear-blue-thank.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080903142043/http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/bruin/2008/08/wear-blue-thank.html |archive-date=September 3, 2008 |quote=Even if you don't wear the "official" game day shirt (we all know the well-loved, 10-year-old shirt is best anyway), just make sure to wear True Blue ... or Powder Blue, for you traditionalists.}}
