In the 1995-96 NCAA Ice Hockey Rule book:
 
Ties in Tournament Competition:
Section 44:  Where advancement in a bracket or the determination of a
tournament champion is necessary,  any series in a format (e.g.,  total
goals series,  single game,  minigame series) that results in a tie will
be broken by 20-minute,  sudden-death overtime periods.  the ice shall be
resurfaced upon completion of regulation play.  The teams shall not
change ends (except as indicated in rule 6-41-b).  Third-place games may
follow the overtime procedures as described in rule 6-43.
 
I believe this applies to ALL tournament games,  not just the NCAA
tourney.
