NCAA Frozen Four 2024: schedule, bracket, selections, results


After failing to win a game by scoring fewer than three goals all season, Denver made it four straight en route to its record 10th NCAA men's hockey national championship.

The Pioneers defeated top-ranked Boston College 2-0 in the title game Saturday night in St. Paul, Minnesota.

Goalie Matt Davis had 34 saves to give the Eagles their first shutout of the season. Davis finished the tournament with 138 saves on 141 shots (.979 save percentage) and a 0.85 goals-against average.

Jared Wright got the Pioneers on the board at 9:42 of the second period and Denver made it 2-0 just over five minutes later when Rieger Lorenz converted a beautiful assist from rookie defenseman Zeev Buium.

Denver won its second national title in three years and its 10th overall, the most of all time. The Frozen Four teams (Denver, BC, Boston University and Michigan) have won a combined 29 national titles, with Denver's 10 being the most all-time. Michigan has won nine titles, and Hockey East rivals BC and BU have won five each. BC's last title came in 2012, BU's in 2009 and Michigan's in 1998.
