The Northeast Women's Hockey League was an NCAA Division III women's ice hockey conference. The conference was formed in 2017 when the ECAC West collapsed and the women's ice hockey programs of the five schools whose primary conference was the State University of New York Athletic Conference (SUNYAC) banded together to form the NEWHL. While SUNYAC supports men's ice hockey, only five of the ten member schools sponsor women's ice hockey. The conference announced that it would cease operations and would be absorbed by SUNYAC starting in 2023-24 season.[1]
