The 2024–25 CCHA season is the 46th season of play for the Central Collegiate Hockey Association and is part of the 2024–25 NCAA Division I men's ice hockey season. The season began on October 4, 2024, and concluded on March 20, 2024.
Augustana
In the off-season, the CCHA announced that the timeline for Augustana was being moved up. Rather than become a full conference member in 2025–26, the Vikings would be eligible for the conference tournament in 2024–25. As schedules had already been set before the announcement, the CCHA would use point percentage to determine Augustana's place in the standings.
Coaches
Bowling Green hired Dennis Williams as a replacement for Ty Eigner. A Bowling Green graduate, Williams previous served as an interim head coach in 2010.
Dave Shyiak was hired as the fourth head coach for Northern Michigan, replacing the departed Grant Potulny.
