The 2024–25 Union Garnet Chargers men's ice hockey season was the 84th season of play for the program, the 33rd at the Division I level and the 33rd in the ECAC Hockey conference. The Garnet Chargers represented Union College in the 2024–25 NCAA Division I men's ice hockey season, played their home games at Achilles Center and were coached by Josh Hauge in his 3rd season.
Season.
Union's season started well for the team with the Chargers winning six of their first seven games. The club's success was largely based upon their offense at this point which was averaging 4 goals a game, albeit mostly against weak opposition. While no one player was leading the charge at this time, Union got a considerable boost from freshman Ben Muthersbaugh who was among the team leaders in points. The Garnet Chargers continued to score their way to victories through November as well, holding a 9–3–1 record after two months of play. In spite of this, however, the team remained outside the polls due to the fact that all of their wins came against lesser squads. The strongest team they were able to defeat to that point was Army who finished 47th in the national polls. To make matters worse, the team went through an offensive slump in December, losing four consecutive game to lose any argument for their inclusion among the best collegiate teams in the country.
The team returned after the winter break and got back to its winning ways, but saw very similar results to the first half of the season; Union would win against weak opponents but lost whenever they faced a moderately strong opponent. The only outlier in this trend was Cornell, whom Union was able to defeat twice during the season. The relative weakness of the conference this season was a catch-22 for Union because, since they faced a sizable array of weak opponents, the team was able to post a good record by season's end. However, their overall rating suffered due to their poor strength of schedule. Union remained in the bottom half of the PairWise despite going 10–5–2 since the start of January and had no chance for an at-large berth.
The team was able to edge ahead of Dartmouth for 4th place and earn the final bye into the quarterfinal round. Unfortunately, the Big Green were none too pleased about the result and took their revenge on Union when the two met. The Chargers were able to twice get into the lead in the first game but appeared to weaken as the game progressed. The Union attack was able to fire 15 shots on goal in the first but could only conjure up 2 shots in the third. This happened despite the team being behind in the final 12 minutes and desperate to tie the score. The rematch saw a complete implosion on the back end with the team surrendering 7 goals to Dartmouth. The Chargers seemed completely at a loss at how to handle the speed of the visitors and the resounding defeat brought their season to an end.
