Division I schools are usually ones that offer scholarships; this isn't always the case, though.\n\nDivision III schools cannot offer scholarships for athletics.

It is easy to understand, just like many other tournaments. \n\nThe first place team plays the eigth place team. The second place team plays the seventh place team, and so on. The other thing to note are the three divisions in each conference. The three winners of each division (Northeast, Atlantic, Southeast) for the Eastern Conference are automatically seeds 1, 2, and 3 depending on who has the most points. Seeds 4 - 8 are determined by the five next best teams, even if the fourth place team has more points than the division-leading third place, they are still seeded 4th in the playoffs. \n\nAfter the first round, the highest place team left plays the lowest place, the second highest plays the second lowest. For example if teams 1, 3, 5, and 7 are left...team 1 will play 7, team 3 will play 5

AAA is the highest level in minor league hockey.  once you go above that, you're in the NHL.  The AHL or (american hockey league) consists of teams in the northeastern united states and eastern canada and is the top AAA league in hockey.

Like the Ohiostatekid said there is freshman, junior varsity, and varsity. Most schools are lucky if they can find enough talent to fill up one varsity team so it would be pointless to have two.

Ice hockey is played with two teams having six players on each side on the ice at a time.  Each team has five skaters and one goaltender, who stands guarding a net at each end (a red line called the goal line).  \n\nThe object of the game is to gain possession of the puck (a disc of vulcanized rubber that's deceptively small and alarmingly hard when you get smacked with it (inevitably on the two inches of your body that aren't currently covered by padding)), and work with your team to get the puck into the other team's net.\n\nMuch like in other games like soccer and basketball, the strategy of the game is two-part:  offense and defense.  The five skaters on the ice are designated as either forwards (offense) or defense (defense), with two of each of those (right wing, left wing and right defense and left defense (usually you say right or left D)).  The fifth skater is a center, whose job is to cover both ends, assisting with defense in front of the net, and driving plays coming out on offense.\n\nThere are far too many rules in hockey to cover here.  They have to do with everything from the face-off -- where the puck is dropped by the ref where play stopped or at center ice -- to what kind of contact is illegal versus legal -- you can push and shove in front of the net but you can't whack somebody with your stick, for example -- to what can be done where on the ice, which is divided up by lines.\n\nThe lines are what really differentiate regulation hockey from "pond" hockey, which is hockey in its simplest (and some might argue purest and most fun) form.  The lines are the goal line where the net is, and the two blue lines, which form a "neutral" zone in the center of the ice.  The zone where your goalie is, behind the blue line closest to you, is "your" zone.  After you cross the neutral zone over the other blue line, you're in enemy territory (aka "their zone" or for real, the offensive side (and believe me, some teams are move offensive than others)).\n\nIf you think the lines are confusing now, just wait until you hear this next part.  Ready?  Coming out of your zone, you can do anything you want with the puck.  Go back, forth, across the blue line, up and down the blue line, anything you want.\n\nBut when you get to "their" blue line, the puck carrier has to cross first.\n\nThis is apparently the single most difficult rule to understand in hockey, for players and spectators alike.  So let me explain it again.\n\nIf you're coming out of your zone towards the offensive zone, the person with the puck *has* to cross the far blue line first.  If anyone else does, they're "offsides" and play stops and everyone gets all crabby and if you're the one who blew a really good play by getting your skate ahead of your linemate who had the puck, you're all embarassed and some girl in the stands is going "wait, why did they stop play, now?" and it's just bad all around.\n\nThat's just one rule that has to do with the lines.  There are others.  Icing, which is basically just an excuse for the ref to blow a whistle after you've sprinted end to end, and then gloat while you limp wheezing to the faceoff.  There's also a rule called a two line pass rule, which is basically an offsides rule and everyone ignores it anyway.\n\nThere are also rules about what you can and can't do around and with the goalie, most of which you get thumped by the goalie for doing anyway, and if not the goalie his or her enforcer.  Not that I'm speaking from experience.\n\nEvery time you get the puck in the net (their net, not yours) you get a point.  Regulation games are played in three 20 minute periods, which usually wind up being longer on account of all the time people spend between whistles arguing their case with the refs.\n\nHockey is played with sticks, and there's rules around what you can and can't do with your stick (e

Usually you split it into two divisions with four in each division. Each team plays the other seven teams once or twice (that's good for 7 or 14 weeks) then you start a playoffs. 1st plays 4th, 2nd plays 3rd in both divisions. Then you have a divisional final and then a championship final. You should have consolation rounds as well for the teams that lose out in the first round of the playoffs.

You need to define popularity. If you are going by number of nations who play, then most likely field hockey. If you are going by number of players worldwide, then probably field hockey as well. If you are going by television ratings, then probably Ice Hockey. \n\nFinally, if you say Hockey outside North America, it means FIELD hockey not ice hockey. I was on a field hockey tour in the Caribbean and we were trying to find out the NHL playoff scores (pre-internet) and confused everyone by asking for hockey scores (we got them, the local field hockey league scores).

The link is for the pro level, but if you want to do little league, high school, or college i'm not sure. You might try a local school district office they might have some info.

Your all wrong In order to play in the NCAA you need to have a womens hockey team as well. Penn State doesent have one so they are considered a club team, basically they have to pay to play. Take it from me I am a hockey player and I was offered a position on the team but I declined.

There are 8 teams that advance to the quarter finals in the Western Conference and Eastern Conference. Teams play against one another based on their "seed" rank. The #1 team plays the #8 team, #2 against #7, and so forth. A team needs to win 4 out of 7 games to move on. Again the semi finals, teams are paired highest seeded team vs. lowest seeded team. Then the winners of the semi finals in each conference play each other in the conference finals. The winner goes on to face the winner of the other conference for the Stanley Cup Finals.\n\nThey have a great bracket showing the teams seed rank and show how many games were played in each round. http://www.sportsline.com/nhl/playoffrace/bracket

In high school DE is fine.  But if you only have average speed, you won't play in college.

Players get to the Ontario Hockey League mainly through drafts, tryouts or scouting from other junior leagues, high schools, and midget and bantam teams. Players in the OHL range from 15-20 years old and the league is considered a "Tier 1, Major Junior A" level. You're right that many players from the OHL make it to the NHL. Wikipedia claims that 20% of the active players in the NHL came from the OHL. I'm not sure how close that is, but it's still a fair amount of players. The thing to keep in mind, however, is that not all of the OHL players who make the NHL are drafted from the OHL. Some may move on to play NCAA college hockey, minor pro, and other leagues before they are drafted. So, that 20% figure could represent players who have played in the OHL, but were not drafted directly from there. Check out the wikipedia page for some good history on the league and, of course, the official OHL page for tons of current info:
