Hi there! I'm a junior in high school and I'm really into ice hockey. I want to attend a D3 college and continue playing. Can anyone recommend some top D3 colleges with competitive ice hockey programs?

Hi! It's exciting that you're passionate about ice hockey and want to continue playing it while pursuing your education. Here are some top Division III schools with competitive ice hockey programs for both men and women:

1. Norwich University (Vermont): Norwich has a strong ice hockey program, with their men's team consistently ranked among the top DIII programs and women's team being competitive as well.

2. Plattsburgh State University of New York (New York): Both Men's and Women's Ice Hockey teams at Plattsburgh have had great success in DIII competitions.

3. Middlebury College (Vermont): Middlebury's men's and women's ice hockey teams have regularly competed in the NCAA tournament and have garnered multiple championships.

4. St. Norbert College (Wisconsin): St. Norbert boasts a strong men's ice hockey team with a rich history of championships. Their women's team is still competitive but not as decorated.

5. Elmira College (New York): Both Elmira's men's and women's ice hockey programs have shown strong performance, with the women's team especially achieving multiple championships.

6. Adrian College (Michigan): Adrian's ice hockey program has been competitive with both their men's and women's teams frequently ranking in top positions.

7. University of Wisconsin - Eau Claire: The men's ice hockey team at UW-Eau Claire has demonstrated consistent success, winning championships and being a regular contender in the NCAA tournament.

These are just a few of the many competitive DIII ice hockey programs that are available, and I encourage you to research more options based on their academic offerings, location, size, and campus culture, as well.

As you come up with your list of prospective colleges, don't forget to consider factors beyond ice hockey, such as the academic programs they offer and the campus environment. Good luck with your college search and your continued ice hockey journey!
