The championship will be played in a Sunday-Tuesday format
The NCAA Women’s Ice Hockey Committee approved a change of dates for the 2027 Women’s Frozen Four in Duluth, Minnesota.
The semifinals will take place Sunday, March 21, and the championship game will be played Tuesday evening, March 23, in AMSOIL Arena.
Originally, the semifinals were slated for Friday, March 19, with the final being played March 21. Committee members’ rationale for making the change is to have all three games of the Women’s Frozen Four televised on ESPN’s linear channels.
“The Women’s Ice Hockey Committee is pleased to announce the date change for this year’s Women’s Frozen Four,” said Brittany Kane, committee chair and senior associate director of athletics and chief of staff at Boston U. “We are grateful to our host, Minnesota Duluth, for its continued commitment to delivering a first-class championship experience for student-athletes, fans and the broader women’s ice hockey community. This is a valuable opportunity to further elevate and grow the sport of women’s ice hockey, and we thank all at ESPN for their continued efforts to do so. It will certainly be an exciting and highly competitive championship in March.”
