From its inception the ECAC Division II tournament was the only postseason tournament held by any Division II schools. As such the winner was the de facto Division II champion. Because all of the teams that participated in the tournament were members of the Northeast-10, the tournament was renamed the Northeast-10 Tournament in 2004.
The ECAC Northeast tournament began in 1972, after several teams formed the first third-tier ice hockey conference. For the first three years the championship was only a single game between the teams judged to be the top two in the conference.
This arrangement continued until the teams formally created the ice hockey division of the Northeast 10 in 2009.

ECAC Hockey is the only ice hockey conference with identical memberships in both its women's and men's divisions. Cornell University has won the most ECAC men's hockey championships with 13, followed by Harvard at 11, and Quinnipiac, which joined the league in 2005, with seven.
The expansion continued in 2003–04 as the conference added another three championships – men's swimming and diving, women's swimming and diving, and men's ice hockey. However, because the NE10 is the sole Division II men's ice hockey league, its postseason champion cannot compete for the NCAA national hockey championship.
