This draft does not include any sources or inline citations. Wikipedia's verifiability policy requires that all content be supported by reliable sources. You should also use inline citations (footnotes) to show which source supports which specific statement.

The draft requires multiple published secondary sources that:

provide significant coverage: discuss the subject in detail, not just brief mentions or routine announcements;
are reliable: from reputable outlets with editorial oversight;
are independent: not connected to the subject, such as press releases, the subject's own website, or sponsored content.

Please add references that meet all three of these criteria. If none exist, the subject is not yet suitable for Wikipedia.

You must place an inline citation directly after:

quotations;
any material whose verifiability is likely to be challenged or is contentious;
any material about living people.

Source Editor: Introduction to referencing with Wiki Markup.
VisualEditor: Introduction to referencing with VisualEditor.

Alabama Hockey M3 (University of Alabama)

The Alabama Hockey M3 team, also known as Frozen Tide Hockey, is the men’s club ice hockey program representing the University of Alabama at the AAU/ACCHL Division III level of collegiate hockey.

History

Ice hockey at the University of Alabama began in 2005 when a group of students founded the Alabama Hockey Club. The original program competed at the ACHA Division III level and became a founding member of the Southeastern Collegiate Hockey Conference (SECHC).

As the program expanded, Alabama added additional teams beneath the Division I level, including a Division II and later an M3/AAU Division III squad. The M3 team was created to provide more opportunities for collegiate players to compete while continuing the growth of hockey in the southeastern United States.
