About the NCAA Men’s Hockey Playoffs
The four #1 seeds are Michigan State, Western Michigan, Boston College, and Maine. Last year’s champion was Denver, a university with 10 national titles, which is more than any other school. Boston College fell in the championship game last year, but they’re the odds-on favorite at +285. The longshot is Bentley at +12,000.
