NCAA Tournament of NHL Players Round 2, Chelios Region: Vote now!

The first round is complete. On to the second round of Puck Daddy’s NCAA Tournament of NHL Players!

On Thursday, we brought you the Chelios Region of our tournament. Then we brought you the Leetch Region. Then we presented the Brooks Region. Finally, there was the Richter Region!

Here’s the full bracket [Click Here]

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.

We need your votes! Cast yours in each matchup below through midnight on Sunday (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 Chelios Region second-round matchups:
