2017-18 MASCAC Season

This is the 2017-18 Massachusetts State College Athletic Conference Men's hockey season.

Membership changes

 * None, but the Worcester State Lancers move to the Worcester Sports Center when it opened for the 2017-18 season.  This will give the program a permanent home closer to campus and a dedicated facility for practice and games.

Format
The top six teams qualify for the single elimination tournament. The top two seeds get a bye to the semifinal round. The 3rd seed plays the 6th seed and the 4th seed plays the 5th seed in the quarterfinal round. The top seed plays the lower seeded quarterfinal winner and the second seed plays the higher seeded quarterfinal round winner. The semifinal winners meet for the conference championship and the conference's automatic bid to the 2018 NCAA Division III Men's Ice Hockey Tournament.
