A total of 30 ballots were submitted by media members covering each team, as well as select national college hockey media.

Fans will be able to take part in 2024 NCHC media day by asking questions for student-athletes during ‘Twitter Takeovers’ in the morning, streaming the state of the conference address for free on NCHC.tv and more.
