1985–86 NCAA Division III men's ice hockey season

August 2023 men iii 1985 250 November 1985–March 22, 1986 John S. Glas Field House Bemidji, Minnesota Bemidji State The 1985–86 NCAA Division III men's ice hockey season began in November 1985 and concluded on March 22 of the following year. This was the 13th season of Division III college ice hockey. Though ECAC 2 formally split into two separate conferences in 1985, all games played between ECAC East and ECAC West teams would count for their conference standings. This arrangement remained until 1992. ECAC 3, in order to prevent confusion with the other two Division III ECAC conferences, was renamed ECAC North/South and divided into two divisions (North and South). In 1990 the NCAA ruled that Plattsburgh State had violated regulations by allowing some of their players to reside in houses owned by people invested in the ice hockey program and were provided with some benefits including free housing, free meals and cash loans. Because these violations occurred between 1985 and 1988 Plattsburgh State's participation in all NCAA games during that time was vacated.https://www.nytimes.com/1990/03/30/sports/plattsburgh-gets-probation.html Plattsburgh Gets Probation New York Times March 30, 1990 September 5, 2019 Regular season Season tournaments Tournament Dates Teams Champion Potsdam Invitational November 1–2 4 Merrimack Westfield State Tournament November 2–3 4 Saint Michael's RIT Tournament November 8–9 4 Wilfrid Laurier Elmira Classic November 22–23 4 Elmira Merrimack Thanksgiving Tournament November 23–24 4 Merrimack Cardinal Classic November 29–30 4 Plattsburgh State Michigan–Dearborn Tournament November 29–30 4 Rensselaer Holiday Tournament November 29–30 4 Rensselaer McCabe Tournament December 6–7 4 Connecticut College Hamilton Tournament December 20–21 4 Hamilton Syracuse Invitational December 27–28 4 RIT Codfish Bowl December 27–28 4 Salem State Blue–Gold Tournament January 3–4 4 RIT Salem State Tournament January 3–4 4 Salem State Spurrier Invitational January 18–19 4 Connecticut College SUNYAC Tournament February 22–23 4 Geneseo State Standings Note: Mini-game are not included in final standings 1986 NCAA Tournament 1986 NCAA Division III Men's Ice Hockey Tournament 3/1/1 QuarterfinalsMarch 14–16 SemifinalsMarch 21 National championshipMarch 22 Third-place game Mankato State 6 1 2 St. Thomas 5 6 0 Plattsburgh State † 7 5 3 Babson 5 8 1 Bemidji State 4 3 3 Elmira 2 5 0 RIT 4 8 - Union 1 7 - Mankato State 5 Plattsburgh State † 7 Bemidji State 4*** RIT 3 Plattsburgh State † 5 Bemidji State 8 Mankato State 0 RIT 6 Note: * denotes overtime period(s)Note: † Plattsburgh State's participation in the tournament was later vacated by the NCAA http://fs.ncaa.org/Docs/stats/winter_champs_records/2004/2004_winter_champs_records.pdf NCAA Record Book 2016-04-13 NCAA Drafted players 1986 NHL Entry Draft Round Pick Player College Conference NHL team 3 61 Jim Hrivnak Merrimack ECAC East Washington Capitals 6 122 Tony Schmalzbauer 1 † St. Cloud State NCHA New York Islanders † incoming freshman 1986 NHL Entry Draft https://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/draft/nhl1986e.html Hockey DB October 25, 2023 1986 NHL supplemental draft 1986 NHL Supplemental Draft Round Pick Player College Conference NHL team 2 9 Art Fitzgerald 1 Trinity ECAC North/South Toronto Maple Leafs See also 1985–86 NCAA Division I men's ice hockey season References 50em External links NCAA
