The Central States Collegiate Hockey League (CSCHL) was a Division I ACHA level hockey-college athletic conference.

The CSCHL Regular Season champion team was then awarded an automatic bid to the annual ACHA Men's Division I National Tournament.

[1] The following season the league expanded to 24 teams in 3 divisions making the CSCHL the premier ice hockey conference in the midwest.

Indiana University rejoined the Great Midwest Hockey League (GMHL) in the 2014–15 season to once again compete at the Division II level.

[6] After the 2021–22 season, Lindenwood moved up its men's hockey team to NCAA Division I status and therefore left both the league and the ACHA.
