As Zeb said in a comment on his Maine Black Bears post, the Black Bears play defending champion Minnesota-Duluth in their 1st Round game. The other game in the Worcester bracket is #1 overall Boston College against Air Force.
In the St. Paul Region, possibly the hottest team in college hockey right now, the University of North Dakota is the #1 seed in the region. They play the Western Michigan Broncos in the first round. Minnesota and Boston University are the other teams in that region.
At Bridgeport, the Top seed of that region is Union. They play Michigan State in the first round while Miami (OH) and Massachusetts-Lowell play in the other game of that region.
Finally at the Green Bay Regional, the #1 seed Michigan plays Cornell and Denver plays Ferris State in the other game of that region.
I figured that I would do predictions for this so I can be ridiculed as a homer for each time I pick UND to win. And I can show how little that I know when it comes to predicting this tournament.

BC is wicked deep, as shown in the conference final this weekend, even though Maine was without Spencer Abbott; but I think BC would rather not see Maine again.
Would love to see you do a post about the conference shakeups out west.
It might be a post coming up. Personally, I like it.
Unfortunately, both of our schools took early exits. There's always next year. We could've met in the semi-finals, which would've been fun.
I am a bad WCHA fan. I am rooting for BC to demolish the Golden Gophers.
You got your wish. Go BC!
