2024 NCAA Frozen Four: Schedule, bracket, picks, results - ESPN

Denver has a chance to become the first school to win 10 NCAA men's hockey championships but will have to beat a certified juggernaut to do it.

The Pioneers, who advanced to Saturday night's national championship game with a 2-1 overtime win over Boston University, will meet No. 1 overall seed Boston College, which overwhelmed Michigan 4-0 in the other semifinal Thursday night at St. Paul, Minnesota.

BC, which has been the No. 1 team in the country much of the season, won its 15th straight game behind a two-goal, 49-second blitz in the second period that turned a tight 1-0 game into a comfortable 3-0 advantage.

Denver posted its third straight 2-1 win in the NCAA tournament. The Pioneers, the highest-scoring team in the country, had not won a game in which it scored fewer than three goals all season entering the tournament.

Three of the four No. 1 seeds — Boston College, Boston University and Denver — emerged from the regionals, with Michigan, a 5-2 winner over Michigan State, the fourth top seed, rounding out the field.

The Frozen Four teams have won a combined 28 national titles, with Denver and Michigan tied for the most of all time with nine each, and Hockey East rivals BC and BU winning five each. Denver won the championship in 2022, BC's last title came in 2012, BU's in 2009 and Michigan's in 1998.

Every game of the tournament, including Saturday's national championship game, will be aired on the ESPN family of networks and streamed on ESPN+.
