2019-20 CHC season

This is the 2019-20 Colonial Hockey Conference Women's hockey season. This is the conference's fourth and final season.
On October 4, 2019 the Commonwealth Coast Conference announced it would be starting to sponsor women's hockey.  It will assume operations of the Colonial Hockey Conference.  As part of the announcement it was announced that the Suffolk Rams would be joining the conference for 2020-21 and that Western New England Golden Bears would be starting a women's team for 2020-21.  This will make six of the seven members of the CHC also being full members of the CCC with the Becker Hawks being an associate member of the conference for both men's and women's hockey. With having seven members the conference will retain its automatic bid to the NCAA tournament.https://www.uscho.com/2019/10/05/commonwealth-coast-conference-starting-womens-hockey-in-2020-21-will-assume-operation-of-colonial-hockey-conference/
