Frozen Four 2021 NCAA men’s hockey tournament online: TV schedule, date and time
The 2021 NCAA Men's Ice Hockey Tournament for men's college ice hockey in the United States scheduled for March 26-April 10, 2021. Notre Dame men's ice hockey will not participate in the NCAA tournament because of COVID-19 protocols.
The road to the Frozen Four starts Friday, March 26, with the NCAA Division I Ice Hockey Regional games. 16 teams will battle it out this weekend to see which 4 will play in the Semi-Finals on April 8th and the National Championship on April 10th.
The tournament has been unpredictable in recent years. A No. 4 seed has beaten a No. 1 seed in the first round in 14-straight tournaments. The No. 16 overall seed has a winning record against the No. 1 overall seed in the last five. With that in mind, I've pondered whether flipping a coin to predict winners would be more accurate than my actual picks.
