WCHL Tournament

The WCHL Tournament was an ice hockey tournament for the Worcester Collegiate Hockey League hosted from 1967 to 1972.

History

The WCHL tournament began in 1967, at the end of the first season of league play. The teams with the four best conference records were arranged in a Single-elimination tournament where the winner was declared champion. In 1971 the league dropped from 5 to 4 members and the playoff was changed; the top 2 teams would play a two-game series where the team with the most goals scored was declared the champion. The following year the conference playoff became a single-game championship.
