Every sports fan knows once the calendar turns over to March, college basketball becomes king. Offices are littered with friendly brackets, while the fans hinge on every game from the play-in game through the national title. Some of the nation’s best will fall. A nowhere school will steal America’s heart and broadcaster Gus Johnson will strain his vocal cords to the limit on something as simple as an inbounds pass. College basketball will always get its usual pageantry in March. But lost in the hoopla is another NCAA tournament, one that offers more excitement than its ball-wielding counterpart — hockey. Starting last weekend, the 58 teams that constitute Division I men’s college hockey started conference tournaments as 16 teams look to break from the pack and play for the national championship. College hockey doesn’t have a bigger national tournament. In fact, there are fewer hockey teams (58) than seeds in the NCAA basketball tournament (65).
