CCHA Rookie of the Year

The CCHA Rookie of the Year is an annual award given out at the conclusion of the Central Collegiate Hockey Association regular season to the best freshman player in the conference as voted by the coaches of each CCHA team.

The Rookie of the Year was first awarded in 1978 and every year thereafter through 2013, when the original CCHA was dissolved as a consequence of the Big Ten Conference forming its men's ice hockey conference.

A new version of the CCHA, which considers itself a continuation of the original conference, began play in the 2021–22 season, and the Rookie of the Year award was revived.
