The Becker Hawks were a Men's Division III team and a women's team in the Commonwealth Coast Conference.
On March 28, 2021, the college's Board of Trustees announced the decision to permanently close the college effective the end of the 2020-21 academic year.[1]
The teams were based out of the New England Sports Center in Marlborough, Massachusetts, which is about 15 miles (24km) off campus. However, the program moved to the Worcester Sports Center in Worcester, Massachusetts when it opened for the 2017-18 hockey season.
Men's Program[]
The team played as a division III Independent for the 2006-07 season building a 2-18-2 record in its first season. The school held its first Becker Invitational in November of 2006
The team became a member of ECAC Northeast for the 2007-08 season. The team joined the Commonwealth Coast Conference as an associate member for men's ice hockey when the ECAC Northeast is phased out as the CCC has 7 members that sponsor men's ice hockey and thus enabling the conference to get an automatic bid to the NCAA Divsion III tournament.

Women's Program[]
The women's program was established in 2015 and the team joined the Colonial Hockey Conference for the 2015-16 season and joined the Commonwealth Coast Conference when the CHC was absorbed to form a CCC women's conference.
