Beginning in 1954âÂÂ55, the Axemen played exclusively at the collegiate level and has seen some success over the years. Their pinnacle was during the 1990s when Acadia won two national championships.
While no alumnus has yet reached the NHL, several Axemen have gone on to play professionally at high levels.
