The 2017-18 NCHC season will culminate this March at the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul, Minn. — the new home for the league's conference tournament, after NCHC commissioner Josh Fenton announced the move (from nearby Target Center in Minneapolis) last month.
The NCHC Board of Directors signed a five-year contract to play the NCHC Frozen Faceoff — the tournament's semifinals and finals — at 'the X,' the home arena of the NHL's Minnesota Wild which will also host the NCAA Frozen Four in April.
Until then, there are plenty of storylines — and players — to watch in the NCHC.
