Northeast Women's Hockey League

Women's ice hockey conference

The Northeast Women's Hockey League was an NCAA Division III women's ice hockey conference. The conference was formed in 2017 when the ECAC West collapsed and the women's ice hockey programs of the five schools whose primary conference was the State University of New York Athletic Conference (SUNYAC) banded together to form the NEWHL. While SUNYAC supports men's ice hockey, only five of the ten member schools sponsor women's ice hockey. The conference announced that it would cease operations and would be absorbed by SUNYAC starting in 2023-24 season.[1]

Members

The NEWHL was formed by five schools in 2017 and was joined by two more beginning with the 2019–20 season. Because seven teams is the minimum requirement for a conference to receive an automatic bid for the NCAA Championship Tournament, the stability of the NEWHL was greatly strengthened with the additions.[2]
