It participates in the NCAA’s Division I as an ice hockey-only conference. Unlike several other college athletic conferences, Atlantic Hockey has no women’s division, though it shares some organizational and administrative roles (and two universities) with the women’s-only College Hockey America.       (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4It was formed in 1997 and began play in the 1998\u20131999 season as the hockey division of the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC). Within three years, it was granted an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament. However, in 2003, Iona and Fairfield dropped hockey, leaving Canisius as the only full MAAC member that sponsored hockey. This proved somewhat problematic for MAAC Hockey, since conference bylaws only allowed full members to vote. On June 30, 2003, MAAC Hockey broke off from the MAAC and reorganized as Atlantic Hockey.[1]Table of ContentsMembership[edit]Current[edit]Future[edit]Former[edit]Timeline[edit]Atlantic Hockey champions[edit]Atlantic Hockey tournament champions by school[edit]National tournament history[edit]Conference arenas[edit]All-Conference Teams[edit]Individual Awards[edit]Team Awards[edit]See also[edit]References[edit]External links[edit]Membership[edit]Current[edit]InstitutionLocationNicknameFoundedAffiliationUndergraduate EnrollmentJoinedWomen’s ConferencePrimary ConferenceColorsUnited States Air Force AcademyColorado Springs, ColoradoFalcons1954Public\/Federal4,4002006N\/AMountain West\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0American International CollegeSpringfield, MassachusettsYellow Jackets1885Private\/Non-sectarian1,7001998N\/ANortheast-10 (D-II)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0United States Military AcademyWest Point, New YorkBlack Knights1802Public\/Federal4,4002000N\/APatriot League\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Bentley UniversityWaltham, MassachusettsFalcons1917Private\/Non-sectarian3,9581999N\/ANortheast-10 (D-II)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Canisius CollegeBuffalo, New YorkGolden Griffins1870Private\/Catholic3,4901998N\/AMAAC\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0College of the Holy CrossWorcester, MassachusettsCrusaders1843Private\/Catholic2,8971998HEAPatriot League\u00a0Mercyhurst UniversityErie, PennsylvaniaLakers1926Private\/Catholic4,0551999CHAPSAC (D-II)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Niagara University[2]Lewiston, New YorkPurple Eagles1856Private\/Catholic3,8532010N\/A [a]MAAC\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Rochester Institute of TechnologyHenrietta, New YorkTigers1829Private\/Non-sectarian16,8422006CHALiberty League (D-III)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Sacred Heart UniversityFairfield, ConnecticutPioneers1963Private\/Catholic5,4281998NEWHA[b]NEC\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Future[edit]         (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4Locations of Atlantic Hockey Conference current member locations.^ Niagara’s women’s team was in College Hockey America before the university dropped the program in 2012.^ The NEWHA was founded in 2017 as a scheduling alliance between Division I and Division II women’s ice hockey independents, with Sacred Heart as a founding member.
