Long Island University has announced the addition of two new sports, men’s Ice Hockey and men’s Swimming.



As of right now there is a search going on to find a head coach and recruitment is set to begin within the 2020-21 academic year. Students who are interested in being recruited should fill out the questionnaire on LIU Athletics page.


Just four days after the announcement of the addition of the men’s Hockey team, President Cline and Martinov announced the addition of a Men’s swimming team, today, May 4th.


“We have a rich history of success with our women's program, and we look forward to continuing that tradition of excellence with our men's program. We are proud to have Coach Donovan lead the men's program, after his proven record of winning and development of our student-athletes during the past four seasons. We look forward to continued success in the pool, in the classroom, and in the community,” said Martinov.


Women’s head coach Matthew Donovan has been selected to lead the new men’s team, as well as still remaining the head coach of the women’s team. Donovan has experience coaching both men’s and women’s teams during his coaching career.



Students who are interested in being a part of the new men’s swimming program should fill out the questionnaire on LIU Athletics page.


With the addition of these two new sport teams, LIU’s athletic field is now up to 32 Division I teams across the Post and Brooklyn campuses.
