The two Division II schools, (Saint Anselm and Saint Michael's) that had played in the New England Hockey Conference for years, formally left the league and began playing a full Northeast-10 Conference schedule.

As had been announced in 2016, seven members of ECAC West, the last remaining ECAC conference at the Division III level, left to form the United Collegiate Hockey Conference along with two new men's programs. The remaining school, Hobart, joined the NEHC.[1]
