The Midwest Collegiate Hockey Association, or MCHA, was a league in NCAA Men's Division III. It was founded for the 1998-99 season and disolved after the 2012-13 when all members joined the Northern Collegiate Hockey Association when all of the University of Wisconsin system members withdrew from that conference to form the Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference's men's ice hockey conference. Five of the schools had already had women's teams playing in the NCHA (the other three schools did not have women's programs).
The Northern Collegiate Hockey Association claims the MCHA's history as part of its' own. For information after the merger please see the NCHA's page.
