The 2010 WCHA Men's Ice Hockey Tournament was the 51st conference playoff in league history and 56th season where a WCHA champion was crowned. The 2010 tournament was played between March 12 and March 20, 2010, at five conference arenas and the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul, Minnesota. By winning the tournament, North Dakota received the Broadmoor Trophy and was awarded the Western Collegiate Hockey Association's automatic bid to the 2010 NCAA Division I Men's Ice Hockey Tournament.
Format
The first round of the postseason tournament featured a best-of-three games format. All ten conference teams participated in the tournament. Teams were seeded No. 1 through No. 10 according to their final conference standing, with a tiebreaker system used to seed teams with an identical number of points accumulated. The top five seeded teams each earned home ice and host one of the lower seeded teams.
The winners of the first round series advanced to the Xcel Energy Center for the WCHA Final Five, the collective name for the quarterfinal, semifinal, and championship rounds. The Final Five used a single-elimination format. Teams were re-seeded No. 1 through No. 5 according to the final regular season conference standings, with the top three teams automatically advancing to the semifinals.
