____________________________________________

FYI: Although Novi High School, in conjunction with Novi Ice Arena, hosts the Pre-Region, Regional Final, and Quarterfinals, the Novi Varsity Hockey TEAM is not necessarily the "Home" Team. Furthermore, the Novi Varsity Hockey TEAM must win each round of competition to advance in the tournament. There is not an advantage to Novi TEAM because the Novi AD (Curt Ellis) volunteers to host during the preliminary rounds of the State Tourney.

The Home and Away Team is decided by a coin toss for the original games and as each team advances to the next round. 

"What does this really matter?" The Home team gets the last change for any line matchups and the Away team usually has to "rush" its line changes depending upon how the officials decide to handle line changes during the game. Some officials are more lenient and patient than others. 

Novi will be the away team against Walled lake Northern.
