– As far as I can tell, there has never been a D-I NCAA championship in women's ice hockey. Since its inception in 2001, it has always been a "National Collegiate" championship, which is the NCAA's term for a championship tournament that combines teams from multiple divisions (in this case, D-I and D-II).

Support just on a readability basis: the "I" in the middle is hard to parse. If LP's reasons are sound, let it go ahead. $Tony (talk)$ 09:54, 23 March 2012 (UTC)Reply
Support The NCAA refers to this as the NCAA National Collegiate Women's Ice Hockey Championship, but I think NCAA National Collegiate Women's Ice Hockey Tournament works just as well. For some strange reason that I have yet to understand, women's ice hockey used National Collegiate, while men's ice hockey uses Division I, despite both top tier divisions featuring D-II schools. Make sure the National Collegiate women's ice hockey championship article (which has gotten a bit out of hand) gets a name change too to coincide with this all. – Nurmsook! ^talk... 21:00, 23 March 2012 (UTC)Reply

National Collegiate

Nurmsook: "National Collegiate" is the NCAA's term of art for any championship that combines teams playing at different divisions. On the men's side, teams at D-II schools have two choices: play up to D-I (and be eligible for the postseason), or remain at D-II and play a mostly D-III schedule (and be ineligible for the postseason, since there's no D-II championship). On the women's side, teams at D-II schools can continue to play D-II, play a combined D-II and D-I schedule, and still be eligible for the postseason. It's a little confusing, but it has to do with what a team competing at the D-II level is allowed to do (and it's become even more important now that new play-ups will no longer be allowed). They really ought to convert the men's side to a National Collegiate championship, but the six Northeast Ten schools that play D-II hockey wouldn't be happy having to compete with D-I teams, even other NE10 schools like Bentley and AIC.
