2016 NCAA Hockey Tournament Bracket Announced

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.
