The field for the NCAA men’s hockey tournament is set, with 16 teams looking to earn a trip to St. Paul, Minnesota, for the Frozen Four.
Regional play begins Thursday and concludes March 31, with the national semifinals set for April 11 and the championship game on April 12 at the Xcel Energy Center. Every game of the tournament will be aired on the ESPN family of networks and streamed on ESPN+.
