The Frozen Four is set and it’s coming to St. Louis.
The NCAA men’s hockey season, which began all the way back in October will be ending soon, and it will do so at the Enterprise Center in St. Louis next weekend.
The four teams that will battle for the championship trophy were determined over the weekend, with major upsets occurring all over the bracket.
The only top seed in its region to make it through was Western Michigan. The Broncos won the Fargo Regional by defeating Massachusetts on Saturday.
Second-seeded Boston knocked off Cornell to win the Toledo Regional, while third-seeded Denver — the defending national champions — handled top-seeded Boston College to win the Manchester Regional on Sunday. Penn State won the game of the tournament so far — 3-2 in overtime — to get past Connecticut in the Allentown Regional.
The Frozen Four semifinals will be played on Thursday, April 10, with Game 1 — Denver versus Western Michigan — set for at 4 p.m., followed by Game 2 — Boston versus Penn State — at 7:30 p.m.
The national championship game will be on Saturday, April 12, with the opening puck drop set for 6:30 p.m. All three games will be televised nationally on ESPN2.
