History
The TSCHL was formed in 2010 and consisted of 8 teams for its first season. A number of the league's current members were part of the now defunct Great Lakes Intercollegiate Hockey Association (GLIHA), while others joined from College Hockey East and Midwest Collegiate Hockey League (MCHL). All 11 members currently compete within the ACHA Division II Southeast Region.
Format
League teams play a 20-game league schedule with 2 games against each of the other 10 members, in addition to non-league games against other ACHA DI, DII & DIII teams. The TSCHL season concludes with the top-6 teams participating in the league tournament at the end of the regular season in mid-late February.
Current teams
NOTE: Bowling Green, Miami and Ohio State have NCAA Division I hockey teams competing in the Western Collegiate Hockey Association, National Collegiate Hockey Conference & the Big Ten Conference.
