This move in turn led to the demise of the WCHA men's division.

Before joining the WCHA in 2010–11, the Beavers had been members of College Hockey America.

The team defeated number one seed Notre Dame in a first round upset.

The team later defeated Cornell to advance to its first Division I Frozen Four appearance, but then lost to Miami University in the semifinals.

As of May 2011, the Men's Track and Field Program will be discontinued due to future budget constraints.
