  • NCAA Tournament - 12 Teams in 2016-17

    Can't remember if this has been discussed but anyways...the 12th team this year is official. Four Pool C bids now.

    2017 Berths
    Pool A = 7 institutions
    Pool B = 1 institution
    Pool C = 4 institutions
    To be considered during the selection process either as an automatic berth (Pool A) or at-large (Pool B and Pool C), an institution
    must play at least 70 percent of its competition against Division III in-region opponents, unless a waiver has been
    approved by the Division III Championships Committee.
    Additionally, input is provided by regional advisory committees for consideration by the NCAA Division III Men’s Ice Hockey
    Committee. Coaches’ polls and/or any other outside polls or rankings are not used as a selection criterion by the NCAA
    Division III Men’s Ice Hockey Committee.

    AUTOMATIC QUALIFICATION
    For the Division III championship, a 12-team format will be used. Automatic-qualification privileges have been granted to the
    following conferences:
    Commonwealth Coast Conference
    Massachusetts State Collegiate Athletic Conference
    Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference
    New England Hockey Conference
    New England Small College Athletic Conference
    Northern Collegiate Hockey Association
    State University of New York Athletic Conference

        Thanks for the info. Thought the WIAC might have purchased an AQ bid but that does not seem to be the case. Only 9 of the 32 NCAA DIII Champions are current WIAC organizations. Maybe it will take a 10th to get the Committee's attention. #HailTheWest
        The U.P. should be the 27th star on Old Glory.

              The conference must have a minimum of 7 teams to be eligible for an auto bid. Bottom line !

                Region 2: SUNYAC, UCHC
                Region 3: NEHC, CCC
                Region 4: NESCAC, MASCAC
                CCT '77 & '78

                        Leave the WIAC out. The travel is tough on their budgets.

                          A completely ridiculous idea. This assumes each region will have only three teams in it. No one knows who the Pool C teams are until the selections. You going to fly a western team or two out east in the first round just to balance the brackets? Yeah that'll fly. Just stupid.

                            Three Regions including all conferences. Each region with similar amount of teams. 27 teams in the west, this would make other two divisions right at 28-30 teams. Conference winners AQ. West region gets 4 Playoff teams, 3 conference winners and a pool B team. East splits the remaining playoff spot for a bounced powerhouse or quality ruunner-up. TRAVEL is no longer an issue and it's all right again. Come on people, think. "The Bottom Line" is BS.
                            The U.P. should be the 27th star on Old Glory.

                              As soon as the UCHC gets the AQ, Pool B goes bye bye
