The 2024–25 CCHA season is the 46th season of play for the Central Collegiate Hockey Association and is part of the 2024–25 NCAA Division I men's ice hockey season. The season began on October 4, 2024, and concluded on March 20, 2024.

Augustana

[edit]

In the off-season, the CCHA announced that the timeline for Augustana was being moved up. Rather than become a full conference member in 2025–26, the Vikings would be eligible for the conference tournament in 2024–25.[1] As schedules had already been set before the announcement, the CCHA would use point percentage to determine Augustana's place in the standings.

Coaches

[edit]

Bowling Green hired Dennis Williams as a replacement for Ty Eigner. A Bowling Green graduate, Williams previous served as an interim head coach in 2010.[2]

Dave Shyiak was hired as the fourth head coach for Northern Michigan, replacing the departed Grant Potulny.[3]
