A new day brings new playoff pairings from the NHIAA, which released the seedings for boys and girls hockey on Monday.

Unlike Class L and I girls basketball, all of the high school hockey teams will have a few days to prepare for their first opponents. The [Division I](http://www.nhiaa.org/trn%5Fdisplay.cfm?SN=Boys%20Ice%20Hockey%20-%20Division%20I&Year=2010&ref=nh-highschoolsports.com) boys preliminary round starts Wednesday, while the [Division I](http://www.nhiaa.org/trn%5Fdisplay.cfm?SN=Girls%20Ice%20Hockey%20-%20Division%20I&Year=2010&ref=nh-highschoolsports.com) girls quarterfinals are on Friday. The Division [II](http://www.nhiaa.org/trn%5Fdisplay.cfm?SN=Boys%20Ice%20Hockey%20-%20Division%20II&Year=2010&ref=nh-highschoolsports.com) and [III](http://www.nhiaa.org/trn%5Fdisplay.cfm?SN=Boys%20Ice%20Hockey%20-%20Division%20III&Year=2010&ref=nh-highschoolsports.com) boys quarterfinals begin Saturday.

In Division I, the Bishop Guertin boys are once again the top seeded team after finishing the regular season 12-2-2\. The Cardinals earned a bye in the preliminary round and will start the playoffs in the quarterfinals on Saturday.

Who they'll face will be determined Wednesday, as the winner of No. 8 Manchester Central (11-7-1) and No. 9 Nashua North (6-9-1) will take on BG. The Little Green and the Titans will play Wednesday at 6 p.m. at the JFK Coliseum in Manchester.

Merrimack (11-7) enters the Division II tournament as the No. 5 seed and will play at No. 4 Timberlane (11-6-1) on Saturday at 4 p.m. The Tomahawks defeated the Owls twice this season, including a 4-3 win last Thursday that ended Merrimack's six-game losing streak.

If Souhegan is to make it to a fifth-straight Division III final, it will have to win a playoff game on the road. The No. 5 Sabers (12-6) will travel to face No. 4 John Stark (12-5-1) on Saturday.

Also in Division III, Hollis/Brookline (9-8-1) enters the tournament as the seventh seed and will take on No. 2 Bedford (16-2) at the Tri-Town Arena in Hooksett on Saturday at 4 p.m.

On the girls side, Bishop Guertin (11-3-2) is the No. 2 seed an earned a bye into the Division I semifinals. The Cardinals will play the winner of No. 3 Concord and No. 6 Oyster River on March 9 at 5:30 p.m. at Everett Arena in Concord.
