- Divisional Standings
For the first time this season, the MCHA has been split into two divisions: North and South. Teams within the same division play each other four times, while teams in opposing divisions meet twice in the season. All conference games will be considered in determining a team's divisional standing, and the two division winners will be seeded first and second in the MCHA's conference tournament, the Harris Cup. The remaining teams will be seeded third through eighth according to overall conference standing.

- There is speculation according to the forums on United States College Hockey Online and the GMHL that the Toronto Rattlers are actually the GMHL All-Stars and that Finlandia defeated them 6-1. The site CollegeHockeyStats.net concurred with the 6-1 result, but still identified Finlandia's opponents as the Toronto Rattlers.
