On this page you'll find information on the leagues the Gophers have been members of over their long history.  From 1952 to 2013 the Gophers were members of the Western Collegiate Hockey Association (WCHA).  Starting with the 2013-14 season Minnesota joined five other Big Ten schools in the Big Ten Conference.  Starting in the 2017-2018 season Notre Dame became the seventh member of the Big Ten Conference as an affiliate member.

You'll find information on the regular season and playoffs champions, as well as the final standings for each year.

Of course, since this site is dedicated to Gopher hockey I've separated out how the Gophers have done in the league.

If you're interested in league awards or honors that Gopher players have received, check out the player awards page here.

No League Play

After the 1957-58 season the member schools of the WIHL decided to disband.  Most of the teams from the former WIHL played each other during the 1958-59 season but these games were all non-conference games.  Below are the overall records of the schools.
