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.
