List of NCAA Division II ice hockey programs

The following is a list of the 7 schools who field men's ice hockey teams in NCAA Division II competition.

History

Second-Tier ice hockey has twice collapsed since 1980. Its current iteration is solely a result of the NCAA policy barring Division II schools from participating in Division III tournament which would have prevented those conferences from receiving an automatic bid into the National Tournament. Because only seven schools play at the D-II level, no NCAA Tournament is currently being held (as of 2020)

The teams comprising the Division II level played in Division III conferences until 2009 but have been playing their conference tournament since 2000.
