krangodance Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 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.

fargosioux Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 College Hockey News Teams: 12 (of 12) Setup: The teams are seeded 1-6 within each scheduling cluster, based upon East-West geography. Within those clusters, the first round is a single game, 3 vs. 6, and 4 vs. 5. The winners advance to the best-of-three Quarterfinals the following weekend, at the sites of the top two teams in each scheduling cluster. Those four winners will advance to the Blue Cross Arena for a Final Four format, single elimination Semis and Finals. Location of finals: Blue Cross Arena, Rochester, N.Y.
