From the NCAA Hockey Rules and Interpretations book (which can also be
found online at <http://www.nihoa.com/rulebook/>):
 
RULE 6
SECTION 48.
a. 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 shall 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 6-44-b). Third-place
games may follow the
     overtime procedures as described in Rule 6-47.
