The Gopher Hockey team will look to get back to the Frozen Four for the first time since 2014 this weekend. The Gophers are the #1 seed in the Northeast Regional in Manchester, New Hampshire. Minnesota will start its quest against the #4 seed, Notre Dame at 2:30 PM on Saturday. UMass-Lowell and Cornell will get play started at 11:00 AM on Saturday.
Minnesota will look to fair better in Manchester then they did two seasons ago. In 2015 the Gophers were the #3 seed in Manchester and lost to #2 seed UMD 4-1. Last season the Gophers missed the NCAA Tournament even after winning the Big Ten regular season championship.
