Here is the official bracket for the 2016 men's ice hockey NCAA tournament. Despite a couple difficult decisions for the committee to make switching teams around to avoid intra-conference match-ups, the final bracket ended up matching our projected bracket perfectly. As with the tournament every year, it's another year where anybody can beat anybody and it wouldn't be a surprise to any team lift the title in Tampa Bay.
