Women's

No women's ice hockey programs currently play under Division II regulations. The NCAA allows D-II members to play under Division I regulations in any sport that does not have a D-II national championship, and all D-II members that sponsor varsity women's hockey choose to play as D-I.

Of the six schools that play under D-II regulations in men's ice hockey, four currently have women's varsity teams, all of which play in the NEWHA. Assumption started women's varsity play in 2023–24 as a NEWHA member.
