Winners of the CCHA's individual awards were selected by the 12 head coaches in the CCHA based on their play in conference games, and coaches were not allowed to vote for players from their own team.
As the top seed in the 2005 CCHA Super Six, the fourth-ranked Wolverines have secured a second-round bye and will play the lowest-remaining seed in the first semifinal game Friday (March 18) at Joe Louis Arena in Detroit. FSN Detroit will air the game live beginning at 4:30 p.m.
