The Hockey East Association, also known as Hockey East, is a college ice hockey conference which operates entirely in New England. It participates in the NCAA's Division I as a hockey-only conference.{{Cite web |url= https://www.espn.com/boston/news/story?id=4996043 |title= BU nabs spot in Hockey East semis; Maine next – ESPN Boston |publisher=ESPN |date= March 15, 2010 |access-date= June 27, 2014}}

Men's Championships

{{main|List of Hockey East men's ice hockey tournament champions}}

The Hockey East Championship Game has been held in Boston since 1987. Originally held at the Boston Garden, it moved to TD Garden[http://www.hockeyjournal.com/news/2010/03/06_hockey.php New England Hockey Journal: Hockey East playoff bracket set] in 1996.[http://www.boston.com/sports/colleges/mens_hockey/articles/2010/03/21/eagles_bear_down_in_ot_win_hockey_east_title/ Eagles bear down in OT, win Hockey East title – The Boston Globe] Prior to moving to Boston, the first two men's Hockey East championships were held in Providence, Rhode Island at the Providence Civic Center.

The semifinal and final games are held on consecutive nights in mid-March at TD Garden. The quarterfinal round takes place the previous weekend. The top eight teams in the league advance to the quarterfinal round, which is a best 2-out-of-3 series with all games played at the higher seed's rink. There have been two cases where the #8 seed won on the #1 team's ice.

Rivalries

Boston College, Boston University, and Northeastern all take part in the annual Beanpot tournament with Harvard of ECAC Hockey.

The previously existing rivalry between Boston College and Notre Dame, the Holy War on Ice, became a conference matchup with Notre Dame's arrival in Hockey East. The two are rivals in other sports as well, as both are members of the Atlantic Coast Conference for most sports (though Notre Dame's football team remains independent, they play BC in that sport on a regular basis). Maine also has a rivalry with New Hampshire, often called "The Border War". Providence and UConn also have a rivalry which spills over from the basketball court.
