Hockey East Association is a college athletic conference which operates primarily in New England, with one member in West Virginia. It participates in the NCAA's Division I as a hockey-only conference.^[1]

Hockey East came into existence in 1984 for men's hockey when most of its current members split apart from what is today known as ECAC Hockey.^[2] It largely sought to emulate the Big East Conference, which had grown quickly since its creation a few years earlier. The women's league began play in 2002.^[3]^[4]

In 2011, Hockey East gained it's first new member since inception when Marshall University joined the conference for it's upstart program. Marshall is Hockey East's first member outside the northeastern US.
