WELCOME!
The NCHC and its members are so excited to
bring these games home to celebrate live with
students, fans, and long-time supporters.
Since the National's first year in 2013-14,
NCHC institutions have combined to advance
41 teams to the NCAA Tournament and 16 to the
Frozen Four. Most notably, the NCHC is home
to seven of the last nine National Champions,
including the reigning champions – Western
Michigan University. As we look to add to
these national accolades, we must first crown
the Conference's Frozen Faceoff champion on
March 21. For a complete overview of our teams,
the bracket, and ticketing information about
the Frozen Faceoff, visit NCHCHockey.com/
FrozenFaceoff.
Thank you for making the NCHC your home
for the best in college hockey. We invite you to
put on your favorite jersey, stand up, and enjoy
the thrill of the 2026 Frozen Faceoff!

Commissioner
