Super Eight

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

For info on the second round of the Cricket World Cup see: Super 8 (round).

The Super Eight is the name of the Massachusetts hockey tournament that determines the state champion. The tournament is technically called the Division IA tournament. Both public and private high schools from the MIAA compete in this tournament. The Independent School League does not compete in the MIAA and has its own tournament

The format of the Super Eight tournament is a round-robin in which the top eight Division I teams compete against each other. Since 2001, there are actually 10 teams selected[1], with the bottom four seeds playing a play-in game. The winners of those games compete in the Super Eight tournament 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.

[edit] History

While Catholic Memorial has won the well over half of the tournaments with 12, Boston College High School has won the last two in 2006 and 2007. BC High's 2007 championship marked the first time a school other than Catholic Memorial has won back-to-back tournaments and only the second time Catholic Memorial has gone two years without a championship (the first time was in 1996 and 1997). Together, the two schools have won all but one tournament (Arlington Catholic High School won in 1997). No public high school has ever won the Super Eight.
