By winning the tournament, Northern Michigan received the Central Collegiate Hockey Association's invitation to play in a first round game created to allow entrance into the tournament 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.
