This was the 15th season of Division III college ice hockey. 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 measure of 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 Merrimack became the first non-Division I program to receive a bid to the Division I Tournament.
