LIU Post Pioneers

For the continuation of the team please see LIU Sharks.
The LIU Post Pioneers are a women's American collegiate ice hockey team representing Long Island University-Post located in Brookville, New York.  The team has yet to be officially announced but the university posted for a head coach for a women's NCAA Division II ice hockey program.  No start date was announced for the program but it is likely it would be either for 2019-20 or 2020-21.https://www.theicegarden.com/2017/12/3/16699430/long-island-university-liu-post-pioneers-new-ncaa-d2-womens-ice-hockey-program-expansion
The LIU Post Pioneers will pass into history when LIU merges them with the Division I LIU Brooklyn Blackbirds after the 2018–19 academic year. A new name and mascot will be named by the alumni and students of the two campuses. Since LIU Brooklyn has always been a Division I program, the Division II LIU Post teams for sports that have not been sponsored by LIU Brooklyn will move up immediately to Division I without the usual transition period for an institution moving to a different division. Teams for sports sponsored by both campuses will be merged, and DII athletes unable to make the DI teams will either be allowed to continue their athletic scholarships without competing or to be granted waivers that allow them to transfer to another DII school without having to sit out a season. The unified LIU athletics program will compete in the Northeast Conference, which has the Brooklyn campus as a member.
