NCAA Men's Ice Hockey Championship
The annual NCAA Men's Ice Hockey Championship tournament determines the top ice hockey team in the NCAA Division I, Division II, and Division III.
This tournament is a single elimination competition that has determined the collegiate national champion since the inaugural 1948 NCAA Men's Division I Ice Hockey Tournament. The semi-finals and finals are called by the trademarked name of Frozen Four. The tournament was first referred to by this moniker in 1999. The term is derived from the term "final four." The tournament structure begins with four regional sites culminating to a single site, where the national semifinals and final game are played.[ The NCAA started a Women's Frozen Four beginning in the 2000-01 season.]
The Hobey Baker Award ceremony, Hockey Humanitarian Award ceremony, and USCHO.com Town Hall Meeting take place annually during Frozen Four weekend.
