The Sherbrooke Vert et Or men's ice hockey team was a varsity ice hockey team representing the Sherbrooke Vert et Or athletic department of the Université de Sherbrooke. The team played for twelve seasons and was discontinued in 1974.
History Sherbrooke fielded its first ice hockey team just in time to compete for the inaugural University Cup. Despite being a new program, the Vert et Or finished in a tie for second place in the Ottawa–St. Lawerence Conference (OSLC) and then proceeded to win a pair of 1-goal playoff games to capture the league championship. The debutant club was among the four teams invited to take part in the national tournament but they could not quite hold up to their opponents, finishing fourth in the series.
It took the team five years to return to the conference postseason but they were never able to recapture the magic of that first season. The Vert et Or made two subsequent league championship appearances but could not win either. The second of those opportunities came in 1974 and was the final match the team as the school decided to discontinue the program in the offseason.
In 2026, the University announced that the hockey program will make a comeback in Fall of the same year. The activities will take place at the Thibault GM Sports Complex nearby the campus.
