The ECAC West Men's Tournament was a Division III conference tournament held from establishment of the ECAC West as an independent league until the dissolution of the conference in 2017.

History[]

The ECAC West Men's Tournament began in 1985, a year after the ECAC West split from ECAC 2 and followed the same format it had during the time in its predecessor. In the first 8 years the champion received an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament. In 1992 an effort was made by some universities to restart the Division II Championship. Because Mercyhurst was one such team all SUNYAC members were forced to leave the conference and membership dropped to 7 schools. This necessitated a change to the conference tournament which was decreased from 8 to 4 participants. During the 90's the league would routinely send members to both the D-II and D-III national tournaments but all efforts at continuing the second-tier tournament ended after 1998.

The 4-member tournament continued unabated until 2007 when a single quarterfinal game was instituted. This arrangement held for six years before a second quarterfinal match was instituted and the 6-team tournament continued until the entire tournament was discontinued in 2017 due to the conference's dissolution.
