The stage is set for a historic clash of titans. The 2026 NCAA Men's Hockey Frozen Four has delivered a final four that reads like a who's who of college hockey royalty. Michigan, North Dakota, Denver, and Wisconsin have survived the grueling regionals and will now battle in Las Vegas for the national championship.

Denver leads the pack with 10, followed closely by Michigan (9), North Dakota (8), and Wisconsin (6).
