Ice Hockey Wiki

The American Collegiate Hockey Association men's Division I is presently made up of ten conferences. This is the highest level of men's club level ice hockey offered in the United States.

The ACHA Men's Division I Nationals is the national championship for the Division I level. It presently includes 24 teams playing in a single elimination tournament to determine the champion. Bids for the tournament are based on winning the conference automatic bid (not all leagues use a conference tournament to determine the bid) or an at-large bid based on national ranking.
