The Super Eight is the common name of the boys high school ice hockey tournament that determines the state champion of Massachusetts. The tournament is technically called the Division I–A tournament. Both public and private high schools from the Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association compete in this tournament. The Independent School League does not compete in the MIAA and has its own league and playoff tournament. The Super Eight tournament is regarded as one of the premier high school hockey post-season tournaments in the country and the participating teams in the tournament are considered among the best high school hockey teams in the country. The tournament has produced numerous NHL players, several national championship teams, and has set several Massachusetts high school hockey attendance records since the tournaments inception. The format of the Super Eight tournament was a round-robin in which the top eight Division I teams in the state compete against each other. Since 2001, there are actually 10 teams selected, with the bottom four seeds playing a play-in game.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.boston.com/sports/schools/graphics/2007super8_seedings )〕 The winners of those games compete in the Super Eight Tournament with a single-elimination format, while the losers return to the respective Division I tournaments (e.g. Division I North tournament) and are seeded at the top of their respective tournaments. The quarterfinal round of the tournament is a best-of-three series with the four series winners advancing to the semifinal round in a single game match. The championship game is a one game match as well. The championship is held at the TD Garden, home of the National Hockey League Boston Bruins, along with the other MIAA Ice Hockey state championship games (I, II and III). == Finals == 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Super Eight (hockey)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
