The Lower Merion Ice Hockey Club was established in 1970 by a group of students led by current LMIHC President Matt Peskin. With the assistance of some parents and a few teachers and residents, the team entered Inter-County Scholastic Hockey League (ICSHL). At that time, the league was comprised of just fourteen teams. The Western Division included Penncrest, Haverford West Chester, Upper Merion, Lower Merion, St. James and Bonner. The Eastern Division featured Swarthmore, Conestoga, Malvern, O'Hara, Marple Newtown, St. Joseph's and Radnor. Today, the ICSHL has, of course, grown considerably to include many teams throughout the region.

The Lower Merion Ice Hockey Club has also grown from one varsity high school team - to a six-team club including two high school teams, two middle school teams and two elementary teams.
