ECAC Hockey has announced changes to the postseason tournament format for its men’s and women’s conferences.<\/p>\n

Effective March 2023, the men’s tournament will feature a single-game first-round format the weekend of March 4-6 with seed Nos. 5-8 hosting seed Nos. 9-12. The four winners of the first-round games will advance to the league quarterfinals March 11-13 to face seed Nos. 1-4 in best-of-three-game series. The quarterfinals winners will advance to the semifinals and championship March 18-19 in Lake Placid, N.Y., where they will play for the Scotty M. Whitelaw Cup as league champion.<\/p>\n

The adoption of the single-game format in the first round is a change from the best-of-three games format that has been utilized in the men’s league since the 2002-03 season.<\/p>\n

The women’s league will feature all 12 teams in the postseason beginning with the 2024 championship.<\/p>\n

In 2023, the women’s tournament format will remain the same as in past years, with quarterfinals action showcasing the top four seeds hosting the first-round winners the weekend of Feb. 24-26. The four quarterfinal winners will then advance to the semifinals and championship game March 4-5 on the campus of the highest remaining seed.<\/p>\n

The winners of the men’s and women’s tournaments will receive the conference’s automatic bid into their respective NCAA tournaments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
