With one weekend of play remaining, we know the regular season champion
(BC) and the schools with home ice in the HEA quarterfinals (BC, ME, MA
and NH).  One of 2 teams will be eliminated from the playoffs (BU or
NU).  Here's a bit more detail ...

--------------------------------------------

HEA tie-breakers are (1) head to head, (2) #conf wins, (3) Best record
against 1st place team; 2nd place team, etc., (4) coin flip.  Three or
more tied: good luck (see HEA web site)  ;-)

Comments:
MA/NH head-to-head is 1-1-1; NH holds tie breaker.
MA clinches 3rd with 1 win.
NH clinches 3rd with 3 pts more than MA, or MA=2ties and NH=2wins.

BU/NU head-to-head is 1-1-1; NU holds tie breaker.
BU needs 3 pts to clinch 8th.
NU needs 3 pts more than BU to clinch 8th.
