NCAA Division I independent schools (ice hockey)

NCAA Division I independent schools are teams that compete in NCAA ice hockey but are not members of a conference. There are several current schools who, at one time or another, competed as Division I independents.

Current independent programs

Men

Institution	Team	Location	Founded	Type	Enrollment	Years	Primary Conference
Arizona State University	Sun Devils[1]	Tempe, Arizona	1885	Public	50,246	2015–present	Pac-12 Conference
Long Island University	Sharks[2]	Brooklyn & Brookville, New York	1926	Private	15,197	2020–present	Northeast Conference

The Sun Devils moved up from club hockey in the ACHA to full varsity status. Arizona State began playing a full Division I schedule in 2016–17. The Sharks launched their men's program for the 2020–21 season.

With the 2020–21 season dramatically impacted by COVID-19, both programs will be in scheduling alliances with Division I conferences for that season—Arizona State with the Big Ten Conference[3] and LIU with Atlantic Hockey.[2]

Women

No women's program has competed as an independent in the National Collegiate division of women's ice hockey, the de facto equivalent of Division I in that sport, since the 2018–19 season. The NCAA has never sponsored a Division II championship in the sport, although it does sponsor a Division III championship.

Five schools competed as independents in the 2018–19 season, all participating in the nascent New England Women's Hockey Alliance (NEWHA), which had originally been established in 2017 as a scheduling alliance among all of the then-current National Collegiate independents. The NEWHA initially included six schools, but Holy Cross left after the inaugural 2017–18 NEWHA season to join Hockey East. The NEWHA officially organized as a conference in advance of the 2018–19 season,[4] but was not officially recognized by the NCAA as a Division I league until the 2019–20 season, by which time the newly launched LIU program had joined as the sixth member.[5]
