The 2011 NCAA Hockey Tournament bracket was released on Sunday morning, and the Denver Pioneers are a No. 2 seed in the Midwest region. The Pioneers will face the No. 3 Western Michigan Broncos on Saturday, March 26 at 3:00 p.m. MT. The winner advances to second round and faces the winner of No. 1 North Dakota-No. 4 RPI on Sunday, March 27.

Should the Pioneers advance to the second round and face North Dakota (the No. 2 overall seed), it will be a rematch of the WCHA playoff finals, which the Fighting Sioux captured on Saturday night. North Dakota's Matt Fratin scored the game-winning goal against the Pioneers in the second overtime period to win, 3-2.

Also making the field from Colorado are Air Force as the No. 4 seed in the East Region, and they will face the No. 1 overall seed, the Yale Bulldogs. That game can be seen on ESPNU this Friday at 4:30 p.m. MT. Colorado College also made it as a No. 4 seed, facing the West Region's No. 1 (and No. 3 overall seed) Boston College Eagles. That game will be seen on ESPNU right after Yale-Air Force.
