The All-Big Ten Teams are composed of players at all positions from teams that are members of the
Big Ten Conference, an
NCAA Division Iconference. Each year, beginning in
2013–14, at the conclusion of the Big Ten regular season a media panel and the
head coaches of each member team vote for players to be placed on the all-conference teams.[1] The all-Big Ten teams are a successor to the
All-CCHA Teams which were discontinued after the conference dissolved due to the
2013–14 NCAA conference realignment.[2]
The all-conference teams are composed of one
goaltender, two
defensemen and three
forwards. Players may only appear once per year on any of the first or second teams but freshman may appear on both the rookie team and one of the other all-conference teams.[3][4]
