I think this might be the fifth D-I league...I remember back in 1993 or
so that this was the name given for the rumored 5th league back then (but
it also included schools like Georgetown and Siena at the time)...
 
Since Canisius & Fairfield are two of the teams rumored to be in the new
league, and they are also in the MAAC for basketball, the MAAC for hockey
is probably, at long last, the 5th D-I league...
