The former 11 team Mid-Atlantic Athletic Conference lost two of its core members when Iona and Farfield decided to drop their Division I men’s hockey program. With only nine teams remaining, the MAAC was dissolved, and the nine remaining schools decided to create an independent hockey league, called the Atlantic Hockey League.
The major question looming on the horizon is if the new Atlantic Hockey League will retain the MAAC’s automatic bid to the NCAA tournament. The four established independent leagues—the ECAC, CHA, WCHA, and CCHA—all receive automatic bids.
The nine teams remaining in the Atlantic Hockey League are American International, Army, Bentley, Canisius, Holy Cross, Mercyhurst, Quinnipiac, Sacred Heart, and Connecticut. | |
