The National Collegiate Hockey Conference tournament is the conference tournament for the NCHC. The winner of the tournament received an automatic berth into the NCAA Tournament which has occurred every year the NCHC has been in existence, with the exception of 2011. The tournament is a successor to the CCHA Tournament which was discontinued after the conference dissolved due to the major realignment of ice hockey conferences that culminated in 2013–14.[2]
The inaugural tournament was held in 2014 and included all 8 member teams in a three-round championship.
