The 1926–27 California Southern Campus Grizzlies men's ice hockey season was the inaugural season of the program which became known as UCLA Bruins men's ice hockey the following year.
Season
The California Southern Campus joined the ranks college hockey programs, founding their program in a sport that had only been in the state for two years.[1] With their team so new, the Grizzlies were only able to schedule six games with two opponents. Southern Campus performed well in the games, winning all despite the score being close in most. Foran scored the first goal in program history.[2] California Southern Campus were to play USC on March 11 in an unofficial match, but the game was called off due to Southern California's policy against playing CSC.[3] Instead the team played the Palais de Glace club team and lost 4–2. Near the end of their season, the team was formally recognized by the Athletic and Student university councils and officially made a minor sport for the school.[4]
No coach was listed for the team. Artemus Lane served as team manager. The California Southern Campus, later known as UCLA, used the same colors as University of California, Berkeley until 1949.[5]
