The Section 1 ice hockey playoffs are right around the corner. Below is a look at the latest playoff standings using the seeding formula.

Here’s a look at the Division I and II standings based on scores listed in the chart at the bottom of the page. Stay tuned for more hockey Bracketology features, including projected brackets, team-by-team results breakdowns and more.
