It is advertising now for a varsity women's coach, and doesn't even have a women's club program. It has a men's club team, and that could be elevated and a women's program may be needed to balance Title IX. Nassau Colisuem now has seat for nearly 14,000, but doesn't have that many events.
The Atlantic Hockey Conference needs another team, and NYC and Long Island don't have a college team between them. It would be a cheap way for LIU Post to say that it has a DI team. Always thought Stony Brook or Hofstra would start a hockey team.
Looks like they plan to add a DII women's program.

I agree, CAA schools like Stony Brook, Hofstra and Delaware, Rhode Island, Towson and Navy (former member) seem like natural fits. LIU would be a good hockey school in NYC, I would also like to see Columbia and Penn add teams to fill out the Ivy but I don't see Columbia ever happening.
I wouldn't count on Rhode Island to upgrade anything.
