Non-Conference record

Of the sixteen teams that are selected to participate in the NCAA tournament, ten will be via at-large bids. Those 10 teams are determined based upon the PairWise rankings. The rankings take into account all games played but are heavily affected by intra-conference results. The result is that teams from leagues which perform better in non-conference are much more likely to receive at-large bids even if they possess inferior records overall.

NCHC had a strong showing against non-conference opponents. As a whole, the league won a majority of their games against every other conference but one (tied with ECAC). While three member teams finished with losing records, the other five more than balanced out the scales. The NCHC also played a good number of games against highly-ranked opponents. While the results in those games was about even, the bonus the teams received from those matches helped put five league members into the NCAA tournament.
