The Western Collegiate Hockey Association (WCHA) is by far the most successful conference in NCAA DI women’s hockey. Except for the 2014 Women’s Frozen Four, a member of this conference has won every NCAA championship since its start in 2001 and at least one WCHA team has appeared in every national championship game. The WCHA expanded to include women’s collegiate hockey in 1999 and the NCAA began regulating it nationally for the 2000-01 season.
Now for a brief overview of the WCHA’s teams and how they are doing as of the mid season break:
