1977 CCHA men's ice hockey tournament

By winning the tournament, Bowling Green received the Central Collegiate Hockey Association's first invitation to play in the NCAA Division I Tournament, a first round game created to allow entrance for the CCHA.

Only the top four teams in the conference standings were eligible for postseason play.

Each of the two rounds were structured so that the two teams facing one another would play two games and the winner would be decided by the goal differential totals of the combined scores.

The victorious teams would then compete in the finals for the conference championship.
