The 1960 WCHA Men's Ice Hockey Tournament was the 1st
Though not official designations, Michigan Tech is considered as the East Regional Champion† and Denver as the West Regional Champion‡.
Format
The top four teams in the WCHA, based upon the conference regular season standings, were eligible for the tournament and were seeded No. 1 through No. 4. In the first round the first and fourth seeds and the second and third seeds were matched in two-game series where the team with the higher number of goals scored was declared the winner. Rather than decide upon a single tournament champion, the WCHA declared the winners of the two series as co-tournament champions.
