The Top Division will be contested between eight teams from April 7 to April 14, 2012. The event will be hosted by USA Hockey in Burlington, Vermont. A new format will be used where the top four ranked teams are placed in Group A and are automatically qualified for the final round, and play in the preliminary round is only used determine seeding for the next round. The top two teams will have a bye into the semifinals. Meanwhile the next four teams play the preliminary round in Group B. The top two teams from Group B join the others for the final round, while the bottom two team will play a best-of-three series, with the loser being relegated next year.[1]
