On Thursday April 9, four teams converge in two Frozen Four semifinal matchups, each compelling in its own way. North Dakota, the No. 1 seed out of the Sioux Falls Regional, meets an upstart Wisconsin Badgers team that are attending their first Frozen Four since 2010. Nodak has looked unstoppable thus far in the tournament, having not given up a goal yet, but they'll still have to make it past a Badgers program that is riding high after a comeback victory against Michigan State.

On the other side of the Frozen Four, Albany Regional No. 1 seed Michigan takes on Denver, who defeated the 2026 national champion Western Michigan en route to the NCAA semifinals. The Pios are also coming off winning a tough NCHC conference tournament. Michigan, for their part, bring scoring and star power with T.J. Hughes and Michael Hage.

This year's Frozen Four and NCAA men's championship final will take place at T-Mobile Arena, the home of the Vegas Golden Knights. Here's what to know.
