The ECAC West Men's Tournament was a Division III conference tournament held from establishment of the ECAC West as an independent league until the dissolution of the conference in 2017.
History [ ]
The ECAC West Men's Tournament began in 1985, a year after the ECAC West split from ECAC 2 and followed the same format it had during the time in its predecessor . In the first 8 years the champion received an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament . In 1992 an effort was made by some universities to restart the Division II Championship . Because Mercyhurst was one such team all SUNYAC members were forced to leave the conference and membership dropped to 7 schools. This necessitated a change to the conference tournament which was decreased from 8 to 4 participants. During the 90's the league would routinely send members to both the D-II and D-III national tournaments but all efforts at continuing the second-tier tournament ended after 1998.
The 4-member tournament continued unabated until 2007 when a single quarterfinal game was instituted. This arrangement held for six years before a second quarterfinal match was instituted and the 6-team tournament continued until the entire tournament was discontinued in 2017 due to the conference's dissolution.
