-While teams in the ECAC play a schedule comprised of roughly 2/3 to 3/4 league matchups, each team will play several out-of-conference games against teams from the other leagues.  In D-I men's hockey, the Western Collegiate Hockey Association (WCHA), Central Collegiate Hockey Association (CCHA) and Hockey East are considered the other three powerhouse leagues, and often are the most desirable out-of-conference opponents as they reflect well on a team's strength of schedule at the end of the year, an important component of the NCAA Tournament selection process.  Teams from Atlantic Hockey and are typically weaker and occupy the lower echelons of the national rankings, and are often less desirable as out-of-conference opponents.

 Many hockey fans outside the ECAC belittle the league and comment on its quality due to infrequent championship wins and relative lack of contenders in the NCAA tournament.  Most commonly this disparity is attributed to the lack of scholarships on many ECAC teams.  Neither the Ivy League schools (Brown, Cornell, Dartmouth, Harvard, Princeton, Yale) nor Union offer athletic scholarships to their players, which makes recruiting top talent a difficult task.  The other three powerhouse conferences are comprised in large part of large state schools with immense recruiting resources and scholarship dollars to match, luring many of the top high school and junior players away from the ECAC.

 ECAC Hockey (Formerly the ECAC Hockey League, now also known by ECACH, or often just ECAC) is one of six Division I men's and 4 Division I women's ice hockey conferences.  It is the only Division I conference in which the same list of teams compete in both the men's and women's leagues, and only achieved that status with the addition of RPI to the D-I women's hockey lineup in the 2006-2007 season.
-The league is headquartered at the [[Times Union Center]] in Albany, NY, and is headed by Commissioner Steve Hagwell.  Working under Hagwell are an assistant commissioner, men's and women's supervisors of officials, and related support staff.  The league works closely with all member schools to create a fair and balanced schedule in which each team plays every other twice per season in league contests.  This has been the case every year since 1986, except for 1999-2000 when Vermont canceled half of its season due to a hazing incident.
