AURORA — The Colorado High School Activities Association has announced the brackets for the 4A and 5A Ice Hockey State Tournaments.
League champions automatically qualified for each bracket. From there, the remainder of each bracket is filled out using the final data from the CHSAA Seeding & Selection Index. That data also seeds the fields.
The Class 4A bracket is a 10-team field, while 5A is a 12-team field.

The 4A quarterfinal games will be played at home sites, while the 5A quarterfinals games will be played at the South Suburban Sports Complex on Tuesday and Wednesday, Feb. 25-26, with the semifinals set for Saturday, Feb. 28 at Colorado College's Ed Robson Arena.
