The Central Collegiate Hockey Association has granted membership to Augustana University's nascent NCAA Division I men's hockey program. The Vikings will both begin play and join the CCHA for the 2023-24 season.
Augustana, which is located in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, will enter the CCHA as its ninth member, joining Bemidi State, Bowling Green, Ferris State, Lake Superior State, Minnesota State, Michigan Tech, Northern Michigan and St. Thomas. MSU was the 2022 national runner-up after winning both the CCHA regular-season and postseason titles last season.
Augustana will begin playing a full CCHA schedule beginning with the 2025-26 season. The Vikings' new home, the 3,000-seat Midco Arena, is currently under construction on campus.
The "new" CCHA begins its second season with the 2022-23 campaign.
