2023 Atlantic Hockey Postseason
The battle for the Jack Riley Memorial Trophy will play out on AHA campuses over three weekends in March with a new format that will culminate in a single-game championship weekend.
The 2023 Atlantic Hockey Postseason will open with best-of-three quarterfinal series March 3-5 with the No. 1, 2, 3 and 4 seeds hosting the No. 8, 7, 6 and 5 seeds, respectively.
Semifinal best-of-three series will take place March 10-12 with the highest-seeded quarterfinal winner hosting the lowest-seeded quarterfinal winner and the second-highest remaining seed hosting the third-highest remaining seed.
The AHA Postseason will conclude March 18 when the two semifinal winners meet at the home of the highest-seeded semifinal winner for one game to determine Atlantic Hockey’s 2023 postseason champion.
