History
When the Little East Conference announced that they would officially be sponsoring ice hockey for the 2025–26 season,[2] the conference also began planning to hold a conference tournament that would be used to determine which league member would receive the league's automatic bid to the NCAA tournament. For the inaugural tournament, six of ten league members qualified with all three rounds being held as Single-elimination matches.
