MAAC eliminating ice hockey
Edison, NJ (Sports Network) - The Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference eliminated its ice hockey league Monday after five seasons.
Canisius, Fairfield and Iona -- the three full-time members -- were part of the original eight-team field when the league was formed in 1998-99, but only Canisius maintained its program after the 2002-03 season.
The league's eight associate members, American International, Connecticut, Holy Cross, Quinnipiac, Sacred Heart, Bentley, Mercyhurst and Army pulled out of the hockey league.
Bentley and Mercyhurst joined for the 1999-2000 season, while Army was added in 2000-01. During that season, the MAAC earned the first of three automatic bids to the NCAA Tournament.
