Post University (D-II/NE-10) adds men's and women's ice hockey

Even if they were eligible for the D3 post season, I don't see them being a competitive team that could make the D3 post season for many years, so they're very lucky that they will be eligible to play in that D1/D2 meaningless tournament that those other schools you listed currently play in.

People said the same thing about Franklin Pierce when they announced they were adding women's hockey.
 
remember that schools don't have a "choice" to play D2 or D3. If Post is D2 in every other sport, which they are, they are classified as D2. They can certainly schedule and play D3 teams, but they will not be eligible for any D3 postseason tournaments.

The other schools that are Division II or Divison I but play D3 schedules are Saint Michael's, Franklin Pierce, Saint Anselm and Holy Cross. Sacred Heart is also Division I but plays a lot of D3 teams.

Saint Michael's, Franklin Pierce, Saint Anselm and Holy Cross all currently play in the ECAC East.

See my post on 4/6 on how it could work.
