Thu Apr 10 11:10:00 UTC 2025: ## Frozen Four Set for Thrilling Showdown in St. Louis

**ST. LOUIS, MO** – While the Florida Gators are celebrating their NCAA men’s basketball championship win, the hockey world’s eyes turn to St. Louis, where the 2025 Frozen Four promises a weekend of intense competition. Four teams – a mix of college hockey giants and first-time contenders – will battle for the national championship title at the Enterprise Center, home of the St. Louis Blues.

This marks only the third time St. Louis has hosted the Frozen Four, the last being in 2007. The tournament features a compelling lineup: reigning champion Denver, seeking a third title in four years; five-time champion Boston University, making its third consecutive appearance; and first-timers Western Michigan and Penn State. The Broncos are the tournament’s lone remaining No. 1 seed, while Penn State’s journey is particularly remarkable, reaching the Frozen Four just 12 years after regaining NCAA sanctioning.

Denver, led by Hobey Baker finalist Zeev Buium, will be looking to secure their 11th national title. Boston University overcame Ohio State and Cornell to reach the final four, while Western Michigan battled through a double-overtime thriller against Minnesota State and defeated UMass. Penn State’s impressive run includes victories over No. 1 seed Maine and UConn.

The semifinals and championship game will air on ESPN2, with John Buccigross and Colby Cohen on commentary and Quint Kessenich reporting rinkside. Streaming options include the ESPN app, ESPN+, and Fubo.

The tournament begins Thursday, promising a weekend of edge-of-your-seat hockey action as these four teams vie for the coveted national championship.
