Pacific 8 Intercollegiate Hockey Conference
The Pacific 8 Intercollegiate Hockey Conference (PAC-8) is a collegiate men's ice hockey conference that competes in Division 2 of the American Collegiate Hockey Association. The PAC-8 was originally only open to schools that belonged to the Pac-12 Conference; however, for the 2018-19 season, the league expanded to include other schools from outside that conference. These schools included Boise State, Eastern Washington, San Diego State, San Jose State, and Western Washington. Regular season formatAccording to the PAC-8 charter, each season starts on September 1 of each year. Along with the required conference schedule, teams schedule non-conference games against ACHA opponents for regional and national ranking consideration. For the 2024/2025 season, each team must play fourteen conference games. At the end of the season the top eight teams qualify for the playoffs. In game play, the ACHA follows the NCAA Rulebook for ice hockey. For interconference games, the PAC-8 mostly follows the same rules for game times and structure. A notable difference is in cases of a tie game after regulation and a 3 on3 5-minute sudden-death overtime period. If a winner is not determined in overtime, then a 3 man shoot-out will occur. During the Conference Championship tournament, overtime format is 20 minute sudden-death periods until a winner is determined. MembersCurrent Teams
