WCHA All-Tournament Teams explained

The WCHA All-Tournament Team is an honor bestowed at the conclusion of the NCAA Division I Western Collegiate Hockey Association conference tournament to the players judged to have performed best during the championship. Currently, the team is composed of three forwards, two defensemen, and one goaltender, with additional players named in the event of a tie.

Despite the tournament beginning in 1960, the WCHA All-Tournament Team wasn't named until 1988. Afterwards, it was named annually until 2016, after which the honor ceased to be awarded.^[1]
