The MIAA girls hockey tournaments are here.
So, it’s a perfect time to get a head start on the “bracketology” that will be at the front of everyone’s minds in just a few weeks during March Madness.
This is the part of the hockey season where unpredictability thrives. In a win-or-go-home, one-game-for-the-rest-of-your-life scenario, anything can happen. Lower seeds can catch fire. Higher seeds try to put the finishing touches on strong seasons.
Just look at last season’s final matchups. Division 1 saw a No. 1 seed win it all last season, thanks to Hingham, but the Harborwomen faced a No. 15 seed in Bishop Stang. In Division 2, it came down to No. 6 Milton and No. 13 Medfield. The latter won it all.
Every possibility is on the table when the puck drops in these games.
Attached below is the Division 1 bracket, along with my picks and a little bit about my thought process. Feel free to use these picks as bulletin board material, although I doubt any of these will be wrong. Like I’ve said in the past, picking brackets 100 percent correctly is pretty easy, right? Right?
A separate story will be done on my Division 2 predictions.
Let’s dive in.
