Notes The NCAA began sponsoring Division III hockey as a championship sport in the 1983–84 season. SUNY Plattsburgh's 1987 national championship was vacated by the NCAA Committee on Infractions. (No championship was awarded that year.) Lebanon Valley previously competed in Division III from 1998–2010. The school dropped varsity hockey in 2010, competing at the ACHA Division I club level until 2016 when it re-elevated its men's team and added women's hockey. Westfield State dropped its program from 1989 to 2008. In 2020, the 12-team field was selected but the tournament was not played due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Keene State previously competed in Division III from 1983 to 1986. The school dropped varsity hockey in 1986 but recreated its men's team and added women's hockey, both in 2024.
