Format

edit

The tournament featured three rounds of play. The four teams that finished below eighth place in the standings were not eligible for tournament play. In the quarterfinals, the first seed and eighth seed, the second seed and seventh seed, the third seed and sixth seed, and the fourth seed and fifth seed played a two-game series to determine the winner.

In the two games, no overtime was permitted and if the two teams remained tied after the two games, then a 10-minute mini-game would be played where a sudden-death overtime was allowed if the scheduled time did not produce a victor.[5] After the opening round every series becomes a single-elimination game. In the semifinals, the highest seed plays the lowest remaining seed while the two remaining teams play with the winners advancing to the championship game and the losers advancing to the third place game. The tournament champion receives an automatic bid to the 1989 NCAA Division I Men's Ice Hockey Tournament.
