The NCAA report that Charlie mentioned said:

What percent of hockey games are won by the home team? 66% may seem
reasonable but it depends upon the level of parity in the sport.

Academic drivel: Hockey, with its dominant teams mixed with so many weaker
programs making the jump from DIII to DI may have less parity, and so a
smaller percentage of home wins, because the dominant teams win home and
away -- particularly true for intraconference games. On the other hand, when
schedules are made, no weak team is going to be hosting a strong team but
rather the strong teams (with bigger arenas?) have a disproportionate
ability to be the host (home) team in cross-conference matchups which may
make hockey's winning percentage even higher than basketball.
