After joining college hockey at the Division-1 level a little over a decade ago, Penn State has made the Frozen Four for the first time. After starting the season with an 0-8 record in Big Ten play, Penn State won 11 of their final 13 games to earn the final “at-large” bid into the NCAA Tournament.

For the sixth time in nine years, the University of Denver Pioneers hockey team will play in the Frozen Four, facing NCHC foe Western Michigan in St. Louis with a trip to the national title game on the line.

Fans cheered on the Western Michigan University men's ice hockey team as they boarded their bus to the Frozen Four.
