Season
editIn 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.[1] As schedules had already been set before the announcement, the CCHA would use point percentage to determine Augustana's place in the standings.
