This occurred due to the glut of WCHA teams that received 2nd- and 3rd-seeds in the regional divisions. Starting with this year's Frozen Four and ending with 2013, five of the next six tournaments featured at least one team making their first appearance in the Frozen Four, with 2011 being the only year to feature four teams with previous Frozen Four appearances.

The Championship Committee seeds the entire field from 1 to 16 within four regionals of 4 teams. The winners of the six Division I conference championships receive automatic bids to participate in the NCAA Championship. In setting up the tournament, the Championship Committee seeks to ensure "competitive equity, financial success and likelihood of playoff-type atmosphere at each regional site." A team serving as the host of a regional is placed within that regional. The top four teams are assigned overall seeds and placed within the bracket such that the national semifinals will feature the No. 1 seed versus the No. 4 seed and the No. 2 seed versus the No. 3 seed should the top four teams win their respective regional finals. Number 1 seeds are also placed as close to their home site as possible, with the No. 1 seed receiving first preference. Conference matchups are avoided in the first round; should five or more teams from one conference make the tournament, this guideline may be disregarded in favor of preserving the bracket's integrity.http://www.uscho.com/news/college-hockey/id,15382/BracketologyMarch42008.html Bracketology: March 4, 2008 USCHO 2008-03-23 https://web.archive.org/web/20080308204613/http://www.uscho.com/news/college-hockey/id%2C15382/BracketologyMarch42008.html 2008-03-08 dead The four regionals are officially named after their geographic areas.
