This was the 52nd season in which an NCAA ice hockey championship was held and is the 105th year overall where an NCAA school fielded a team. The 1998-99 season was the inaugural year for Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference's hockey division. Because only Canisius, Fairfield, and Iona were full members of the MAAC, five additional associate members were included to make the conference viable. All five teams had been part of ECAC lower classifications in the past (as had Canisius, Fairfield and Iona) and were promoted to Division I for the 1998-99 season.History of the MAAC http://www.augenblick.org/chha/maac_his.html College Hockey Historical Archives 2013 2013-05-19 Season Outlook Pre-season polls 1998–99 NCAA Division I men's ice hockey rankings The top teams in the nation as ranked before the start of the season.
