Home > NCAA Division I independents (women's hockey)
NCAA Division I independents (independent schools) are four-year institutions that do not participate in a conference in a given sport. This does not mean that Division I independents schedule each other for competition like conference schools do. There are considerably fewer independent schools than in years past; many independent schools later join (or attempt to join) established conferences.In women's hockey, only one school, Sacred Heart University, is currently a Division I independent. Its men's team plays in a conference that does not sponsor women's hockey ( Atlantic Hockey).
The three other independent schools in 2003- 04 joined conferences in the summer of 2004:
