The 2022–23 NCAA Division I men's ice hockey season was the 129th season of play for varsity ice hockey in the United States. The regular season began on October 1, 2022 and concluded on March 11, 2023.[1] Two programs played their first Division I games this season while a third restarted its program.

Season

After a successful, multi-million dollar fundraising effort, Alaska Anchorage reinstated its ice hockey program in time for the 2022–23 season.[2]

After playing at the lower level of college hockey for over 40 years, Stonehill was promoted to Division I along with all of the varsity programs at that school.[3] Due to the late announcement, however, the majority of teams that populated the Skyhawks' schedule were from the Division III and II levels.

The independent ranks also welcomed Lindenwood in its first varsity season. The Lions had fielded at least one team at the club level since 2003, and are 4-time national club champions.[4]

Coaches

As part of the Seawolves' renewal, Alaska Anchorage brought in Matt Shasby to be the program's new head coach.
