This year there would be an alternate belt in Hockey East if Maine defeats BU on Saturday. I think HEA is the only league at this point where some teams don't make the league tourney. As you also wrote, The Belt could be held by an independent not making the NCAA tourney.

HEA went back to an all in format this year.

Even though none of the belts is being contested on Sunday, some next opponents will be decided.
 
I have updated the next opponent for several belts.

The D-II Alt Belt is on the line in the AIC-Bentley playoff series.

A Minnesota State-AIC first round NCAA matchup could clear up that D-II alternate belt nicely.

Thanks greatly, and it certainly would be nice if they met in the NCAA tourney. That alternate belt has been around since 11/19/2016:

Speaking of, I didn't see any other opinions of ALT belts. This was suggested by Sean Pickett and I thought it made a lot of sense:

To further the boxing analogy: a regulation win is a knockout, a 3x3 overtime win is a technical knockout and a shootout win is a decision on points.

A tie is retained by previous holder. A win by any means goes to the winner. I'm still on board with the no ALT belts moving forward unless standard belt is held by someone who misses a playoff. Current ALT belts exist until absorbed. Hopefully soon for that DII Alt belt. Haha.
