Once those games have gone final, check back in here for the official seeds and bracket for the Hockey East tournament. As of right now, Massachusetts and Providence have clinched home-ice advantage in the first round quarterfinal games. The Minutemen earned the team’s first-ever Hockey East regular season title last weekend.

The Hockey East tournament begins with best-of-three quarterfinal games played at campus locations on March 15. Different from the format the last couple of years, only eight of Hockey East’s 11 teams will earn a berth in the tournament.  The top four teams in the league standings will host seeds five through eight in the quarterfinals round.
