Die US-amerikanische College­meisterschaft im Eishockey wird jährlich von der National Collegiate Athletic Association ausgetragen. Sie gilt als bedeutendste Eishockeymeisterschaft, die ausschließlich in den USA ausgetragen wird, da sowohl die National Hockey League als auch die American Hockey League zusammen mit Kanada organisiert werden.

Die Eishockey-Finalserie der NCAA wird „Frozen Four“ genannt. Bei Männern und Frauen wird in zwei Divisionen gespielt, wobei jeweils die Division I den Landesmeister ausspielt. Der beste Spieler bei den Männern wird mit dem Hobey Baker Memorial Award ausgezeichnet. Simultan dazu gibt es für die Frauen den Patty Kazmaier Memorial Award.

Teilnahme am Spengler Cup Im Jahr 2025 nahm erstmals eine Auswahl von Collegespielern unter dem Namen US Collegiate Selects am prestigeträchtigen Spengler Cup teil. Zuvor hatten die University of Minnesota im Jahr 1981 und die University of North Dakota ein Jahr später das Turnier gespielt.

Frauen Seit 2001 wird von der NCAA auch die Collegemeisterschaft der Frauen ausgespielt. Obwohl es niemals eine „Division II“ gab, heißt die zweite Liga in Anlehnung an die Männerligen „Division III“.
