MIAA Division IA Men's Ice Hockey Championship

The Super Eight is the common name of an annual boys high school ice hockey tournament held in Massachusetts that takes place in March each year. A selection committee chooses the top ten public and private high schools from the Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association to complete in this tournament. The tournament is technically called the MIAA Division IA Men's Ice Hockey Tournament. The tournament is a single-elimination bracket of ten teams. The Super 8 is considered one of the premier high school hockey postseason tournaments in the country.

History
Since 1991, the Super Eight has been held in Boston, Massachusetts at the TD Garden, home of the Boston Bruins. However, many of the games leading up to the Finals may be held at alternative sites, including Tsongas Center, Chelmsford Forum and other rinks in the state.

Tournament format history
1991–2000"8 teams are selected to participate in a double-elimination tournament, during the month of March."2000–2003"The format changed to a 10 team-format with the bottom four seeds playing a play-in game."2004–2012"The bottom four teams play a play-in game then the 8 teams are divided into 2 brackets of round-robin play, with four teams playing in semifinal crossover games."2013–2017"The play-in game is the same, but the round of 8 is a best of three series."2018—present"The play-in game is the same, but from the round of 8 on is a double-elimination tournament with a single game championship."

Team titles
While Catholic Memorial has won over half of the 25 tournaments with 13 Championships, Malden Catholic's four straight championships marked the first time a school other than Catholic Memorial has won more than three consecutive tournaments. Reading Memorial High School became the first public team to win the Super Eight after defeating Malden Catholic 3–0 in 2008. The tournament has been won 22 times by schools in the Catholic Conference. Catholic Memorial with 13, Malden Catholic with 5, BC High with 4, St. John's Prep with 1. Xaverian Brothers HS is the only Catholic Conference team without a Super 8 Title to date. The 2017 title was won by Arlington High School, with a 2-1 OT win versus Central Catholic High School. This is the Spy Ponders's first ever Super 8 championship.
