> Not sure of the year, but #1 Harvard got beat in a 1-game playin by #8
> Rensselaer, thus not making the Garden.  Thus, the ECAC instituted 3-game
first
> rounds (actually, if I remember correctly, 2 plus a mini-game) the next
year
 
The year was 1992.  Previous to that the ECAC had the "worst of all possible
worlds" 2 games plus minigame QF series.  In '92 they instituted a single
game quarterfinal.  RPI, a #10 seed who had upset #7 Vermont in the
preliminary round game the previous Tuesday, took out #1 Harvard in the QF.
(2 of the 4 QF series were upsets: #5 Cornell also won at #4 Yale.)
 
The very next year, the ECAC went to the "best of three  / no o.t. in first
two games" series that we know and love today.
