The NCHC on Wednesday announced its all-conference teams, with five different teams represented on the 2021-22 all-NCHC first team.
Voting was conducted by the eight head coaches at each institution and eight media members, one covering each member school. Coaches and media voted for six forwards, four defensemen and two goaltenders, awarding first-team votes for six players (three forwards, two defensemen and one goaltender) and second-team votes for the other six selections. Three points were awarded for a first-team vote while one point was awarded for a second-team vote, with the most points at each position earning the honors.
Coaches were not allowed to vote for their own players, making 15 first-place votes the maximum a player can receive.
