Notes

^A The NCAA began sponsoring Division III hockey as a championship sport in the 1983–84 season.
^B SUNY Plattsburgh's 1987 national championship was vacated by the NCAA Committee on Infractions. (No championship was awarded that year.)
^C Lebanon Valley previously competed in Division III from 1998–2010. The school dropped varsity hockey in 2010, competing at the ACHA Division I club level until 2016 when it re-elevated its men's team and added women's hockey.
^D Westfield State dropped its program from 1989 to 2008.
^E In 2020, the 12-team field was selected but the tournament was not played due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
^F Keene State previously competed in Division III from 1983 to 1986. The school dropped varsity hockey in 1986 but recreated its men's team and added women's hockey, both in 2024.
