Non-Conference record[]
Only one conference member (St. Cloud State) ended up with a losing record in non-conference play. While this, ordinarily, would put the NCHC in good standing, several of the teams had very weak opponents. This was typified by Western Michigan, whose strongest opponent on the season was St. Lawrence (48th in the pairwise). The result was that, despite finishing 33 games over .500, the NCHC finished behind the Big Ten and Hockey East in ranking average.
