The Tri-State Collegiate Hockey League (TSCHL) is an ACHA Division II level ice hockey league. ACHA Division II level consists of players with previous Jr. A, AAA or Midget Major experience, along with high caliber high school experience. The level can range from varsity high school up to NCAA Division III skills, depending on the programs.

History

The TSCHL was formed in 2010 and consisted of eight teams for its first season. Only the University of Dayton remains in the league from the inaugural season.

[1]

A number of the league's current members were part of the now defunct Great Lakes Intercollegiate Hockey Association (GLIHA), while others in the past joined from the College Hockey East and the Midwest Collegiate Hockey League (MCHL). All 10 members currently compete within the ACHA Division II Southeast Region. The league is separated into two divisions, beginning in the 2021–2022 season, for only the second time in its history. The only other time was in the 2018–2019 season.
