  • The 1995-96 Alabama-Huntsville Chargers ice hockey team represented the University of Alabama in Huntsville in the 1995-96 NCAA Division II men's hockey season, winning the national championship. It was the school's first NCAA national championship, following club national championships in 1981-82, 1982-83, and 1983-84. The team was coached by Doug Ross and played their home games at the Von Braun Civic Center. The Chargers completed the regular season 24-0-3. They were then invited to play the Bemidji State Beavers in a two-game series to determine the Division II National Championship at Huntsville's Von Braun Civic Center. The Chargers would dominate in both a 7-1 victory on March 8, followed by 3-0 shutout to clinch the championship the following day. In the weeks following the championship, speculation on plans for a new 4,000-seat arena near the Benton H. Wilcoxon Municipal Iceplex for the Chargers were later abandoned. Additionally, whether or not to move back to Division I became an issue, but UAH would refrain from the jump until 1998.
