The Midwest Collegiate Hockey Association tournament was a Division III college ice hockey tournament held annually to determine the MCHA champion. The tournament operated from the inception of the conference in 1999 to its absorption by the NCHA in 2013.
The MCHA tournament was held every year that the MCHA existed and was discontinued when the NCHA absorbed the MCHA.[ 1] Originally the tournament was an entirely single-elimination format, but after the league expanded to 6 teams in 2004–05, each round was changed to point system; two teams would play two games against one another with the first to three points being declared the winner (two points for a win, one point for a tie). After two games, if both teams remained tied, a 20-minute mini-game was played to determine which team would advance. In accordance with NCAA rules, mini-games did not count for a team's standings or statistics and were only used to decide which team progressed.
