CCHA Player of the Year
History
Sport	Ice hockey
Awarded for	The Player of the Year in the CCHA
First award	1977
Most recent	Sam Morton

The CCHA Player of the Year is an annual award given out at the conclusion of the Central Collegiate Hockey Association regular season to the best player in the conference as voted by the coaches of each CCHA team.^[1] The award went on hiatus after the original CCHA was disbanded after the 2012–13 season, and was reinstated when the league resumed play in 2021–22.^[2]^[3]

The Player of the Year was first awarded in 1977 and every year thereafter until 2013, when the original CCHA was dissolved as a consequence of the Big Ten Conference forming its men's ice hockey conference.^[4] The award returned along with the league in 2022.^[5]

Two players (Brendan Morrison and Ryan Miller) have received the award two separate times, both doing so in consecutive years.
