}}The CCHA Best Defensive Forward was an annual award given out at the conclusion of the Central Collegiate Hockey Association (CCHA) regular season to the best defensive forward in the conference as voted by the coaches of each CCHA team.[1] The Best Defensive Forward was first awarded in 1990 and every year thereafter until 2013 when the CCHA was dissolved as a consequence of the Big Ten Conference forming its men's ice hockey conference.[2] Award winners{{col-start}}{{col-2}}| Year | Winner | Position | School |
