==Standings==
For 2019-20 the conference adopted a modified point system as allowed by the NCAA where three points for a regulation time win two points for an overtime or shootout win, one point for an overtime or shootout loss, and no points for a regulation loss. The league would play five-on-five overtime for five minutes and then three-on-three overtime for five additional minutes and then a sudden death shootout. Games decided in overtime are considered ties for NCAA records and PairWise calculations for NCAA tournament selection.
==Conference Tournament==

The top six teams qualify for the single elimination tournament. All games are held at the higher seeded team's rink. The tournament winner earns the conference's automatic bid to the 2023 NCAA Division III Men's Ice Hockey Tournament.
