This was the 15th season in which an NCAA ice hockey championship was held and is the 68th year overall where an NCAA school fielded a team. This was the premier season for ECAC Hockey which began as a conglomerate of 28 eastern schools among which 8 teams were selected by a committee to participate in a postseason tournament that would determine which university(s) would receive bids to the NCAA tournament. Due to the sheer number of schools and the lack of any scheduling criteria the teams played a vastly unbalanced schedule. As a result, the regular season standings were effectively immaterial in determining the conference tournament participants and the committee based their selections on which teams they felt were the best representatives.History of ECAC Hockey http://www.augenblick.org/chha/ecac_his.html College Hockey Historical Archives January 29, 2013 https://web.archive.org/web/20120415203828/http://www.augenblick.org/chha/ecac_his.html April 15, 2012 live Despite already being in the Tri-State League Clarkson, Rensselaer and St. Lawrence were also founding members of ECAC Hockey and played concurrently in both conferences until the Tri-State League folded in 1972.History of the Tri-State League/ICAC https://www.augenblick.org/chha/tri_his.html College Hockey Historical Archive January 2, 2017 This was the first season for Minnesota–Duluth as a university sponsored program.UMD Hockey Media Guide 2016-17 https://issuu.com/umdbulldogs/docs/umdhockeymediaguide2017 Minnesota-Duluth Bulldogs January 3, 2017 Regular season Season tournaments Tournament Dates Teams Champion Brown Holiday Tournament December 18–20 8 ECAC Holiday Hockey Festival December 21–22 4 Clarkson Boston Arena Christmas Tournament December 26–28 4 Michigan State Rensselaer Holiday Tournament December 28–30 4 Michigan Beanpot February 5, 12 4 Harvard Standings 2008-09 ECAC Hockey Media Guide http://www.ecachockey.com/men/history/Summaries-I.pdf ECAC Hockey June 29, 20142008-09 WCHA Yearbook 97-112 http://wcha.com/pdf/mguide0910/Ybk-97-112.pdf WCHA June 29, 2014 1962 NCAA Tournament 1962 NCAA Men's Ice Hockey Tournament SemifinalsMarch 15–16 National ChampionshipMarch 17 Third Place Game E1 Clarkson 5 W2 Michigan 4 W1 Michigan Tech 6 E2 St. Lawrence 2 E1 Clarkson 1 W1 Michigan Tech 7 W2 Michigan 6 E2 St. Lawrence 1 Note: * denotes overtime period(s) NCAA Tournament https://www.augenblick.org/chha/ncaa_trn.html College Hockey Historical Archives May 19, 2013 Player stats Scoring leaders The following players led the league in points at the conclusion of the season.
