These are the two big changes in Hockey East for the 1992-93 season: 1) Quarterfinals will change from a single-elimination format to two-game, total points. The two games will be played in the normal regular season format, ties being possible after 5 min of sudden death OT. If the series is tied after the 2nd game (i.e. 0-0-2 or 1-1-0), then sudden death OT will be played to decide the series. 2) 2 referees and one linesman will officiate the games. The 1st change was unanimous among all eight schools. I'm not sure about the 2nd. - mike
