By the end of Sunday, we’ll know which four teams will make up “The Frozen Four” in the battle for a 2016 NCAA hockey championship.
Actually, we already know two of the teams, as you can see from the official bracket.
Boston College beat Minnesota-Duluth 3-2 to advance on Saturday. At the other side of the bracket, North Dakota defeated Michigan 5-2 to get to the Frozen Four.
Boston College faces the winner of: Quinnipiac vs. UMass Lowell.
North Dakota faces the winner of: Ferris State vs. Denver.
Got that?
Let’s jump into the fun stuff.

Side-stories
Can the Nashville Predators sign Jimmy Vesey, or will he go the UFA route? We shall see (more here at TSN).
Really, keep an eye on PHT in the next week-or-so, as college guys possibly make the jump to the NHL. It’s speculation for those who miss feeding frenzies like the trade deadline.
#CBJ have not yet begun talks w D Zach Werenski, whose season at @umichhockey ended Saturday w NCAA loss. But talks should start very soon.
