The first NCAA Division II men's hockey tournament was held in 1978 at American International College in Springfield, MA.
The four invited teams played a single-elimination tournament. The field was expanded to eight teams in 1982 and the first round was based on a two-game, total-goals format.
In 1984, the field was again cut back to four teams and the two-game format was both in the first round and in the championship game. The tournament was then discontinued.
It resumed in 1993, with a selection committee choosing the top two teams to play a two-game, total-goal championship series, but the tournament was discontinued again after 1999.
