When is the 2022 Frozen Four? originally appeared on NBC Sports Washington
The best college hockey teams in the nation are gearing up for the biggest tournament of their season: the Frozen Four. One year after being canceled due to COVID-19, the University of Massachusetts won their first-ever NCAA hockey championship last year after a dominant 5-0 victory over St. Cloud State in Pittsburgh.
UMass will not be able to repeat as national champs, though as they dropped a heartbreaking 4-3 overtime loss to Minnesota in the Worcester Regional semifinal. Now, the field is wide open as the remaining teams vie for a chance to meet in the National Championship game on April 9 at TD Garden in Boston.
