These quick one liners rekindle a question which seems to come up every
year come playoff time.
I now know both Eastern leagues HE/ECAC reseed. Do the CCHA and WCHA also
reseed??
In general WHY?
It forces a low seed like (for ex. #7 Princeton last year) to play a
tough road series just to make it to the league tournament, and then they
probably (barring any other major upsets) have to play a higher seed to
advance to the final. Is this fair? But then again who defines fair.
