I have only added the next games for belts where it is certain when and with whom the next defense is. Sadly, AIC is not playing Mankato in the first round.

Long live the D II P u Alt SO Belt!!!!!!

With Minnesota State and AIC in opposite halves of the bracket, it's a slim path for its elimination. In fact, if Minnesota State does not reach the title game, we will continue with an Alt belt as the Mavericks are the only D-II team in that half.

There are multiple paths for the other half to have the belt in the title game, but they all start with an AIC win over Michigan. If that happens, we need AIC or St. Cloud to reach the Frozen Four instead of Quinnipiac. Two of four potential semifinal opponents could then carry the belt to the title game- Michigan Tech or Duluth.
 
Congrats to Minnesota State on winning the Belt.

A couple points of order, are we considering Lindenwood and Stonehill to be D-I?

It looks like our best hope of a D-II unification is AIC leaving the belt in Alaska after the first weekend. They don't play another D-II until they get into conference play.

Good question. We probably should with Lindenwood. I haven't seen Stonehill's schedule. I will go along with what others think.

I think Lindenwood should count for our purposes, and not be a play up (they are in the D-I Ohio Valley Conference now), being eligible only for the Belt and the Western Belt.

No one has announced or released a hockey schedule that includes Stonehill, so that discussion may be moot.

Stonehill is playing Lindenwood but those games won't count then.
