Since the inception of the ECAC in 1961, SLU has won six ECAC tournament titles and two ECAC regular season titles.

St. Lawrence has been to the Frozen Four and its antecedent the four team NCAA Championships a total of nine times, playing in the title games in 1961 and 1988. St. Lawrence has accomplished this despite being, at approximately 2,000 students, one of the smallest colleges to play at the Division I level. A Division III school in all other sports, St. Lawrence has maintained Division I "play-up" status in hockey thanks to a 2004 NCAA resolution, allowing it (along with 11 other schools) to offer Division I scholarships in only one sport. St. Lawrence did not offer grant-in-aid hockey scholarships until the mid-1990s.

Uniforms
Traditionally, the Skating Saints home jersey is white with scarlet shoulders and brown trim. The end of the sleeves and bottom of the sweater feature scarlet and brown stripes. The school’s StL logo and the player’s name and number all appear in scarlet with brown trim. The road jersey are identically designed, but with the white and scarlet portions reversed. In 2002, a lace-up neck was adopted by the men’s team.In 2001, in honor of Appleton Arena’s fiftieth anniversary, an alternate “throw-back” jersey was introduced for the men’s team. The alternate jersey is white but does not feature colored shoulders. The StL logo is significantly smaller, and “St. Lawrence” is spelled out across the chest. The school seal also appears on both shoulders of the sweater. This jersey continued to be used occasionally until gaining popularity during the 2006-07 season, when the men’s team exhibited frequent success when wearing the alternate jerseys on home ice. As a result, the alternate jersey quickly became the staple home jersey.
Originally, the women’s program wore jerseys that were identical to the men’s jerseys. However, in fall 2005, the women’s jerseys were designed to be unique from the men’s jerseys. The scarlet and brown on the shoulders of the home jersey was extended down the arms until it met with the trim at the end of the sleeve. The player’s number appears within the scarlet portion and is white with brown trim. The road jerseys feature a similar pattern, but the shoulders and sleeves are brown with white trim (a reverse of the traditional road-jersey scheme) on a red background.
In tribute to Mike Pelletier and Rich Stewart, teammates on the 1988 NCAA finalist team who were among the victims of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, the 2001-02 men's team wore a patch on the shoulder of their jerseys with both players' initials. Pelletier and Stewart had both been employees of Cantor Fitzgerald working in the World Trade Center

.
In the 2008-09 season, St. Lawrence, along with all other ECACHL teams, participated in Coaches vs. Cancer's "Pink at the Rink" fundraiser. The Men's team wore black sweaters with pink and white trim while the Women's team wore pink uniforms with white trim. The jerseys, along with pink ties worn by the coaches and pink sticks were then auctioned off to raise funds for breast cancer research. (It should be noted that the Men's team only wore the pink jerseys during warmups, as Harvard (the visiting team that evening) had forgotten to bring their home white jerseys)
Traditions
- Whenever the Skating Saints are introduced or score a goal on home ice, a siren sounds and "When the Saints go Marching in" plays. A skating saint logo in the corner of the arena lights up as well. Since NCAA rules limit the time for a stoppage of play to 18 seconds and amplified music ceases when the puck is dropped, Saints fans will continue to sing "When the Saints go Marching in" a cappellaA cappellaA cappella music is specifically solo or group singing without instrumental sound, or a piece intended to be performed in this way. It is the opposite of cantata, which is accompanied singing. A cappella was originally intended to differentiate between Renaissance polyphony and Baroque concertato...

. This is a shared tradition among schools in the ECACHL; notably Clarkson fans and Cornell fans will shout "knights" and "red," respectively, when those words appear in the anthem's lyrics. - Since the fall of 1999, fans have brought a school flag into the stands to wave when team takes the ice and when they score. Cowbells have also become popular among fans (possibly due to the large population of dairy farmers in the region), and are sold at the school’s bookstore, with the StL logo printed on them.
- Other traditions have included throwing a rubber chicken onto the ice, which is then reeled in by a fishing pole, and hanging a bull’s-eye behind the opposing team’s goalie.
