The MCHA tournament was held every year that the MCHA existed and was discontinued when the NCHA absorbed the MCHA. 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. 2005. 2010. 2011. 2012. 2013.
