NCAA Tournament of NHL Players, Brooks Region: Vote now!
March Madness is underway, and the Puck Daddy NCAA Tournament of NHL Players ROLLS ON!
Earlier today, we brought you the Chelios Region of our tournament. Then we brought you the Leetch Region. (Vote now!)
Now it’s time for the (Herb) Brooks Region.
See the full bracket here. [Click for Image]
Here’s how it works: We’ve taken 64 current NHL players who also played NCAA men’s ice hockey and through the pain-staking work of our Selection Committee (i.e. at least four emails) have ranked them from 1-through-64, placing them in four regions: The Chelios Region, The Leetch Region, The Richter Region and the Brooks Region.
Our opening round begins today (Thursday); we’re going straight into Round 2 on Friday.
But we need your votes! Cast yours in each matchup below through midnight (ET). We’ll announce the winners on the Puck Daddy Facebook page throughout the tournament.
The criteria? In theory, it should be who the better player is. But we know your votes will undoubtedly be influenced by popularity, ties to your favorite team and/or alma mater and other arbitrary things like “least real teeth.” (In which case, congrats, Duncan Keith.)
Whatever your criteria: Vote early. Vote often. And vote … now!
Here are the Brooks Region opening round matchups:
