I remember Merrimack College wearing them right up until they joined
Hockey East for then '89-'90 season.  How far back they go, I'm not sure.
Early Eighties at least.  They DID wear them to the NCAA Quarterfinals in
Sault St. Marie when they lost a two-game, total goals series to Lake
Superior.  I think, however, that Hockey East mandated standard equipment
on all teams and so the long pants were history.  Not sure if that was the
case, though.  I still have highlight tapes of games the Warriors played
with the long pants.  I agree, they were pretty sharp.
