Nichols Bison men's ice hockey

The Nichols Bison are a Men's Division III team in the Commonwealth Coast Conference. The teams represent Nichols College in Dudley, MA. The team is based out of the Levy Rink in Dudley.
==Men's program==
The men's program dates to 1931. The team played mostly against Prep high school teams in the late 1930's until the program was suspended in 1942 due to World War II. The program returned for 1946 to 1949 and then again in 1958. The team played games against freshmen and other amateur teams into the mid-1960's. The team would be a member of the Worcester Collegiate Hockey League during its whole existence from 1966 to 1972.  It appears to go back to 1966 in ECAC Division II. The team dropped to Division III in 1971. The team played in the ECAC Northeast from 1998 to 2016 when the league morphed into the Commonwealth Coast Conference.
