The Catamounts are a member of Hockey East, joining in 2005 after competing in ECAC Hockey from 1974 to 2005. They play home games at Gutterson Fieldhouse in Burlington, Vermont.{{cite web| url = http://www.uscho.com/m/vermont-catamounts/mens-college-hockey/team,uvm.html| url-status = dead| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20071024021432/http://www.uscho.com/m/vermont-catamounts/mens-college-hockey/team,uvm.html| archive-date = 2007-10-24| title = USCHO.com :: U.S. College Hockey Online :: Vermont Catamounts Men's Hockey}} Vermont has appeared in the NCAA Men's Hockey Championship six times since making the move to Division I in 1974–75, including trips to the Frozen Four in 1996 and 2009.

Prior to moving to Division I, UVM competed in ECAC Division II, where it won back-to-back ECAC Division II titles in 1972-73 and 1973–74.{{cite web|url=http://www.uvm.edu/~uvmpr/?Page=news&storyID=2654&category=uvmhome|title=University Communications : University of Vermont|first=University of|last=Vermont}}

Since 1990, the Catamounts have hosted what is now known as the Catamount Cup tournament, winning the title seven times.{{cite web|url=http://www.augenblick.org/chha/t_uvm_01.html|title=Sheraton/TD Bank Catamount Cup}}

Alumni

The University of Vermont has produced 18 National Hockey League (NHL) players in its history. The seven UVM Alumni who have won Stanley Cup championships are: Ross Colton '18 (Tampa Bay Lightning), Patrick Sharp '02, Viktor Stålberg '09, Éric Perrin '97, and former NHL All-Stars Martin St. Louis '97, Tim Thomas '97 and John LeClair '91.

In 2004, St. Louis was awarded the Hart Memorial Trophy as the NHL's most valuable player, the Art Ross Trophy as the NHL's leading scorer, the Lester B. Pearson Award as the league's most outstanding player in the regular season as judged by the members of the NHL Players Association, and the Bud Light Plus/Minus award. Thomas has won the Vezina Trophy twice as the NHL's top goaltender in 2009 and 2011, and the Conn Smythe Trophy as the most valuable player of the Stanley Cup playoffs in 2011. He also holds the NHL record for best single season save percentage. UVM is the only NCAA program in history to count alumni who have won both the Hart Trophy and the Vezina Trophy, as well as the only NCAA program to generate an Art Ross winner.

A two-time Olympian in 1998 and 2002, LeClair was elected to the United States Hockey Hall of Fame in 2009 after a standout 16-year NHL career where he scored 406 goals. He was a two-time NHL first team All-Star and twice won the Bud Light Plus/Minus Award. LeClair is the only American born player to record three consecutive 50 goal seasons, and is the only NHL player with back to back game winning SCF OT goals.

Other Catamounts who were U.S. Olympians were Thomas (2010), former NHL defenseman Aaron Miller (2002, 2006) and Ryan Gunderson (2018). St. Louis skated for Canada in the 2006 and 2014 Olympics, while Sharp was named to Canada's 2014 Olympic squad. Viktor Stalberg also represented Sweden at the 2018 Olympics. Vermont was one of just five college hockey programs to have at least one alumnus participating in every Olympic games since NHL players began competing in 1998 until 2018 when NHL players did not compete in Olympic competition.{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/SportingVermont/status/420673849194070016|title=Sporting Vermont on Twitter}}
