Does anybody know the format of the AHA tournament?

I couldn't find a clear source anywhere. I went to several AHA team websites and I was able to figure out the following:

March 5 (AHA First Round):

(8) Canisius at (4) Niagara

(7) Mercyhurst at (5) Robert Morris

(12) American International at (9) Army

None of this makes any sense to me. What about #6 Connecticut? Why does the #5 seed have to play the #7 seed while the #9 seed gets to play the #12 seed?

The other four conference tournaments make perfect sense but I'm confused by this AHA tournament.

If anybody can shed some light on what's going on here I'd appreciate it.

Thanks
