The 2023–24 NCAA Division I men's ice hockey season began on October 6, 2023, and concluded with the NCAA championship on April 13, 2024. This was the 76th season in which an NCAA ice hockey championship is being held, and is US college hockey's 130th year overall.
After Robert Morris suspended its program in the summer of 2021, a successful fundraising campaign allowed the team to return for this season.[1] [2] The program rejoined Atlantic Hockey, bringing the number of conference members back up to 11.
The same summer, Augustana University proceeded with plans to promote its athletic department to Division I. In concert with that decision, the school finalized the addition of a new ice hockey program that would begin with this season.[3] In the interim, the program was accepted into the CCHA as the ninth member team and would play its first two seasons using a transition schedule before becoming a full member in 2025.[4]
On June 6, 2023, the Atlantic Hockey Association and the women-only College Hockey America (CHA) announced that they would merge operations after the 2023–24 season. The two conferences had shared a commissioner and conference staff since 2010.[5] The merger was officially finalized on April 30, 2024 with the merged conference unveiling its new identity as Atlantic Hockey America. All members of the Association and CHA became members of the new conference.[6]
On July 5, 2023, Arizona State University was accepted as the ninth member of the National Collegiate Hockey Conference (NCHC) beginning with the 2024–2025 season. This marked the Sun Devils' final season as an independent program.[7] [8]
A future conference move was announced on May 15, 2024, with the NCHC announcing that the St. Thomas would join from the CCHA in 2026. This move coincides with the completion of UST's transition from NCAA Division III to Division I.[9]

The PairWise Rankings (PWR) are a statistical tool designed to approximate the process by which the NCAA selection committee decides which teams get at-large bids to the 16-team NCAA tournament. Although the NCAA selection committee does not use the PWR as presented by USCHO, the PWR has been accurate in predicting which teams will make the tournament field. For Division I men, all teams are included in comparisons starting in the 2013–14 season (formerly, only teams with a Ratings Percentage Index of .500 or above, or teams under consideration, were included). The PWR method compares each team with every other such team, with the winner of each “comparison” earning one PWR point. After all comparisons are made, the points are totaled up and rankings listed accordingly. With 64 Division I men's teams, the greatest number of PWR points any team could earn is 63, winning the comparison with every other team. Meanwhile, a team that lost all of its comparisons would have no PWR points.
Teams are then ranked by PWR point total, with ties broken by the teams’ RPI ratings, which starting in 2013–14 is weighted for home and road games and includes a quality wins bonus (QWB) for beating teams in the top 20 of the RPI (it also is weighted for home and road). When it comes to comparing teams, the PWR uses three criteria which are combined to make a comparison: RPI, record against common opponents and head-to-head competition. Starting in 2013–14, the comparison of record against teams under consideration was dropped because all teams are now under comparison.[11]
