Traditions

History of the Stag

Fairfield Stags

With the dawn of the first athletic team (cross country) in the fall of 1947, it became apparent that a nickname would be needed. For the 1947-48 season, Fairfield University adopted the "Men In Red" as its nickname. Image File history File links No higher resolution available. ... Image File history File links No higher resolution available. ...


The following year, the University introduced men's basketball as its next team and its first varsity sport. With the start of varsity sports, the school put it to the students for input in naming of a school mascot. Two recommendations were made to the Board of Trustees for an official decision and vote. As the late Fr. Charles F. Duffy S.J. recounted: "As a member of the Board of Trustees, I remember voting at a board meeting late in 1948 on the naming for our athletic teams. We voted for Stags over Chanticleers!"


What made the decision for the Board a bit easier and logical was the fact that the school was part of the Dioceses of Hartford and the word Hartford means stags (hart) and stream (ford). According to Webster's New World Dictionary the word "hart" means "A male of the European red deer; stag." As for the world "ford" Webster describes it as "A shallow place in a stream, river, etc."


As a result, Fairfield University's seal itself was designed featuring a deer leaping over a tumbling brook to represent both the school's connection with the Dioceses as well with its close ties with nature.


Fairfield is situated on a rolling, immensely wooded 200-acre campus overlooking Long Island Sound. The name fits well as a nickname because the Stag is a good jumper and it spirited and agile, as Fairfield would like all of its student-athletes to be.


Fight songs

"The Fairfield University Fight Song"

  • Written by Prof. Brian Q. Torff during the 1995-96 academic year for a contest sponsored by the Fairfield University Student Association.
Come catch the spirit, Fairfield U.
For all to hear it, Fairfield U.
Red and White will always conquer,
Go for the winner 'till the end, and so we’ll
Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight for Fairfield U.,
Each day and night our hearts will be true,
And all across the land we'll always stand by Fairfield U.
And all across the land we'll always stand by Fairfield U!
  • Listen to the Fight Song, as performed by the Fairfield University Varsity Band.

Brian Q. Torff Brian Q. Torff (born March 16, 1954 in Hinsdale, Illinois) is a world renowned bassist and composer, and is currently Music Program Director at Fairfield University in Fairfield, Connecticut. ...

"The Men in Red"

  • Written by Rudy Ross '51 when Fairfield was an all-male institution.
The men in Red will always fight for Fairfield.
The men in Red will fight tonight for Fairfield.
We'll stick out our chin, and we'll wind up with win, with a grin.
The men in Red will raise a shout for Fairfield.
The men in Red will go all out for Fairfield,
As we go on rolling up the score for dear old Fairfield ever more.

Men's varsity hockey

With the fourth season of the Fairfield University Men's Ice Hockey quickly approaching, expectations are at an all time high. Coming off of a 20-4-0-0 record, the team will look to continue their tradition of success in the Metropolitan Collegiate Hockey Conference and the American Collegiate Hockey Association beginning in September.


Despite being in only their third season, the 2005-2006 Stags rolled through the MCHC, winning 13 of their 15 league games, and reached the league semifinals for the third straight season. Previously, the program has fielded a championship caliber team in each of the past two seasons.

The 2003-2004 squad finished their season in second place and made it all the way to the league championship.


The Stag's season begins in early September and runs right through to March, with a short hiatus for winter break. Aside from 16 MCHC league games, between 5 and 10 non league games are scheduled each year, including a preseason tournament, to assure the highest level of competition for the team. Practices range between two and three times a week at their home rink, Wonderland of Ice, located about 15 minutes from campus in Bridgeport, CT.


The hockey team is one of the most popular sports that Fairfield has to offer its student spectators; as attendance at home games have been well in excess of 250 fans. Fan busses provide transportation to and from Wonderland for students.The stags are coached by Marshall Richards, and assistant coach Corey McGee.
