2024 NCHC Tournament

The first round of the postseason tournament featured a best-of-three games format. All eight conference teams participated in the tournament. Teams were seeded No. 1 through No. 8 according to their final conference standing, with a tiebreaker system used to seed teams with an identical number of points accumulated. The top four seeded teams each earn home ice and host one of the lower seeded teams.

The winners of the first round series advanced to the Xcel Energy Center for the NCHC Frozen Faceoff. The Frozen Faceoff used a single-elimination format. Teams were re-seeded No. 1 through No. 4 according to the final regular season conference standings.{{cite web|url=http://www.nchchockey.com/page/show/878713-format|title=Format|website=nchchockey.com|access-date=April 8, 2023|archive-date=June 7, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140607095121/http://www.nchchockey.com/page/show/878713-format|url-status=dead}}
