Hockey East directors approved an expansion of its playoff format during their recent league meetings in Naples, Florida. With the University of Connecticut joining the conference for the start of the 2014-15 season, the directors voted to include all 12 institutions in the post season tournament. On a second vote, the directors voted to utilize a “Best-of-Three” format in both the opening round of play as well as the quarterfinal round. Those rounds, played at campus sites, precede the Hockey East championship weekend that will again be hosted by the TD Garden in Boston next year. The 2015 Hockey East post-season will look like this: Friday - Sunday, March 6-8: Best-of-Three Opening Round (#5 hosts #12, #6 hosts #11, #7 hosts #10, #8 hosts #9) Friday - Sunday, March 13-15: Best-of-Three Quarterfinal (Schools #1 - #4 host four opening round winners, highest vs. lowest, etc.) Friday, March 20 at TD Garden: Semifinal Games Saturday, March 21 at TD Garden: Championship Final
