2025 CCHA men's ice hockey tournament

The 2025 CCHA Tournament was the 46th tournament in the history of the Central Collegiate Hockey Association. It began on March 7 and ended on March 21, 2025. All games were played at home campus sites. By winning the tournament, Minnesota State received the CCHA's automatic bid for the 2025 NCAA Division I men's ice hockey tournament.

Format

The first round of the postseason tournament features a best-of-three games format, while the semifinals and final are single games held at the campus sites of the highest remaining seeds. The top eight conference teams in the standings participated in the tournament. Teams are seeded No. 1 through No. 8 according to their final conference standings, with a tiebreaker system used to seed teams with an identical number of points accumulated. The higher-seeded teams each earned home ice and hosted one of the lower-seeded teams. The teams that advance out of the quarterfinals are reseeded according to the regular season standings. The semifinals and final are single-elimination games. The winners of the semifinals play one another to determine the conference tournament champion.
