Ron Mason has meant a great deal to the conference during his 35-year affiliation. As one of the founders of the league, he has helped the CCHA grow into what it is today. Spartan volunteer assistant coach Jim Mullin provides color commentary for the second straight season. All three tournament games will be broadcast live on Fox Sports Detroit as part of the regional sports outlet's Central Collegiate Hockey Association television package. A limited number of tickets for the CCHA Championship can be purchased at the MSU athletic ticket office located in Jenison Field House.
Purchases are limited to one per ID and are subject to availability.
Michigan State has won nine CCHA Tournament titles in its 20 seasons in the league, the most of any school. Bowling Green ranks second to MSU in that category with five conference playoff crowns, three of which came during Ron Mason's tenure with the Falcons. MSU enters the CCHA Tournament hoping to capture both the league's regular-season and playoff championships for the second time in four years. Incidentally, in both years MSU won the CCHA regular-season title but failed to earn league playoff honors, the Spartans advanced to the NCAA Frozen Four. The Spartans have only failed to advance to the league title game once when entering the CCHA Tournament as the top seed.
