Women's
No women's ice hockey programs currently play under Division II regulations. The NCAA allows D-II members to play under Division I regulations in any sport that does not have a D-II national championship, and all D-II members that sponsor varsity women's hockey choose to play as D-I.
Of the seven schools that play under D-II regulations in men's ice hockey, four currently have women's varsity teams, all of which play in the NEWHA. Stonehill, which will add women's hockey in 2021–22, will also play in the NEWHA.
Men's
† UMass Boston's program began in 1980, however, the school merged in 1982 with Boston State College, which had started its ice hockey program in 1962.
