History

The MASCAC was founded in 1971 but did not begin sponsoring men's ice hockey as a sport until 2009. That season the five full member schools formed the ice hockey division along with two schools from the Little East and began a conference schedule. The MASCAC also started a conference tournament in its inaugural year however, despite having the requisite number of teams, it did not receive an automatic bid for the NCAA Tournament until 2012. The 2021 tournament was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
