Frozen Four Tickets

Frozen Four History The Frozen Four often gets overlooked because hockey isn't a premiere sport in the United States and this is only played at the college level, but it is one of sports greatest spectacles.

College hockey is primarily played by teams from the North, which is reasonable considering the different climates.

Schools from the Great Lakes area in particular have dominated this event, with four of the past seven champions coming from that part of the country.

Last year's champion was Boston College, which has won the title two times in the past eight years and become a major player on the national scene.

Denver won the title back-to-back in 2004 and 2005, which was preceeded by Minnesota winning it all in 2002 and 2003.

Over the entire history of the event, which spans all the way back to 1948, Denver is the southernmost team to win a national championship. Talk about domination by the northern half of the country.

The Frozen Four was always played in Colorado Springs until 1958, when it was moved to Minneapolis. It was then rotated to various cities, trying to expand the interest in the championship event.

It was never played any further south than St. Louis or Cincinnati, and it is now a major coup for a city to land the Frozen Four with all of the attention and business the event brings with it.

The great thing about this event is that you never have a mediocre team that just caught fire at the right time make it to the Frozen Four. It's always the four top teams in the country, which makes for a lot of exciting hockey.

There have been 13 overtime games in the championship game of the Frozen Four. Two games have gone more than just one overtime, with one title tilt actually extending into four extra sessions.

It is certainly one of the best championship events in all of sports, professional or collegiate, so be sure to attend the Frozen Four.
