The Atlantic University Sport ice hockey tournament is an annual conference championship held between member teams. The winner receives an automatic bid to the U Sports men's ice hockey championship.


History

[edit]

The formation of the conference occurred after the maritime schools restarted their ice hockey programs after World War I. For its inaugural season, the league instituted a tournament. Originally, the conference was called the "Maritime Intercollegiate Athletic Association" (MIAA) but changed its moniker to the "Atlantic Intercollegiate Athletic Association" (AIAA) in 1968. In 1973, the conference merged with "Atlantic Women's Intercollegiate Athletic Association" (AWIAA) to become the "Atlantic Universities Athletic Association" (AUAA). The conference name remained that way until rebranding as "Atlantic University Sport" (AUS) in 1998.
