The Dekers Blue Line Club was founded in 1962 with 25 members. The organization is the formal booster club of the University of Michigan men's hockey team and arranges several events annually to raise money, to show support, and to recognize prominent players.
The club has hosted an awards banquet at the close of each year since its inception, to honor team members for excellence. It has also hosted an Old-Timer's Game, a hockey hall of fame, and team reunions during the Old-Timer's weekend since 1980.
The organization has revised their constitution several times and was incorporated in 1984. The organization continues to the present, hosting a variety of activities to raise money, to honor the athletes, and to create a positive environment for the University of Michigan Hockey team.
