American International: The schools men's ice hockey team will return to DII at the end of the season. According to College Hockey Insider’s Mike McMahon, AIC’s men’s hockey team had the highest expenditures of any non-football team at the school, totaling over $1.77M. AIC’s program began in 1948 and was DII until 1998 when it joined DI and the MAAC. McMahon adds: “At a town hall in September, the school announced that it had not hit enrollment goals and did not know the financial impact it would have on the school. At the September town hall, the school said it would hold another town hall this month (November) to update more details on possible budget cuts. It appears the hockey program is a victim of these cuts. Moving back to Division II, AIC will forgo its partnership with the MassMutual Center in downtown Springfield. The move will also result in slashed scholarships. … This is a punch in the gut for college hockey.” Also: “I’m also guessing that a number of players will enter the portal and look to move to another D-I program, but this announcement comes at an awful time for them. Due to the House v. NCAA settlement, many rosters are about to be reduced to 26 players. Last week, the NCAA approved the eligibility of CHL players, so there are fewer DI roster opportunities.” (link)
