The 1967 WCHA Men's Ice Hockey Tournament was the 8th

1967 NCAA University Division Men's Ice Hockey Tournament
.

Though not official designations, Michigan State is considered as the East Regional Champion† and North Dakota as the West Regional Champion‡.

Format

All eight teams in the WCHA were eligible for the tournament. In the first round the schools were matched up based upon regional location, having the schools closest to one another play a

Minnesota-Duluth's next closest opponent was Michigan Tech, leaving Michigan and Michigan State as the pair in the final First Round game. Because each of these teams had met under the same circumstances the previous year the home venue that wasn't used the first time was utilized for this tournament, resulting in two higher-seeded teams playing on the road. After the first round the two easternmost remaining teams met in the home venues of Michigan Tech (Dee Stadium) while the two westernmost schools met at Denver's home building (DU Arena
). In the second round the first and fourth seeds and the second and third seeds were matched with the winners being declared as co-conference tournament champions.
