The United Collegiate Hockey Cup is an end-of-season tournament for the independent teams playing NCAA Division I college ice hockey. As the participants in the tournament are not part of any conference, this tournament effectively acts as a de facto conference tournament for the independent teams, though it does not guarantee a bid into the NCAA Division I men's ice hockey tournament. The tournament was created to give the independent Division I teams something to play for at the end of the season, and with the addition of a loser's bracket, guarantees at least two games for all teams.
