Is it true that one of the NCAA Regionals will be held in Bridgeport, Ct?
Assuming we make it that far, is there any sense as to whether Cornell will be playing there, as opposed to say, Madison or Minneapolis?

Yes, it's true. (http://www.uscho.com/ncaad1/)
Far too early to say whether Cornell might be placed there. The only thing that would virtually guarantee it is if we finish #1 overall in PWR, which we currently are, but there are way too many games remaining to be able to say with certainty that this will hold up. An additional consideration is that the NCAA is recommending that tournaments be "regionalized" so that geography is the MOST important factor in placing the teams. If the hockey committee decides to follow that recommendation (or has it forced on them before March as a requirement), then that would certainly increase our chances of ending up in Bridgeport or Manchester, NH (the other eastern regional).
Thank you.
