Frozen Four 2011 Preview
Posted 2/9/2011
While there is plenty of attention turned toward March Madness, don't forget about the NCAA Frozen Four, which has grown in popularity in recent years and become one of the top collegiate athletic events.
This year's Frozen Four will take place April 7 and April 9 at the Xcel Energy Center, which is a terrific venue. It is home of the Minnesota Wild and Timberwolves, and the event will be hosted by the University of Minnesota. You know that it will be a first-class event given the hosts and venue.
April 7 will feature the two semifinal games while the national championship will take place on April 9. Not only is college hockey quickly increasing its popularity, but the
Twin Cities is a great place to visit for out-of-town fans. There is no shortage of things to do in between watching great hockey.
Like most seasons, the usual suspects are favorites to reach the Frozen Four. Teams like Michigan, Boston College and Minnesota make it a regular habit of crashing the Final Four.
