For the first time in program history, Penn State will play in the Frozen Four with a spot in the championship game officially on the line. Penn State makes its Frozen Four debut on Thursday night in St. Louis, the site of this year's men's NCAA ice hockey semifinals and championship. Can Penn State battle some of the college hockey world's top programs and return home as a national champion? The first test will be against one of the sport's blueblood programs, Boston University.
Penn State will face Boston University for the first time, and the two programs have very different histories in the sport. As mentioned, this is Penn State's first trip to the Frozen Four, but this is the 25th trip to the Frozen Four for the Terriers. The only schools with more Frozen Four appearances are Michigan (28) and crosstown rival Boston College (26). Boston University has five national titles to their name.
But history is not what will win Thursday night's semifinal matchup in the Enterprise Center in St. Louis. Penn State has already taken out two Hockey East teams with victories over the two teams who played in the conference championship, Maine and UConn. UConn is the team that eliminated Boston University in the Hockey East tournament with a 5-2 victory. Boston blew out Ohio State in the first round of the NCAA tournament and advanced to the Frozen Four with a one-goal victory over Cornell.
Here is how to catch today's game.
TV Channel: ESPN2
Start time: 8:30 p.m. ET
Coverage of the Frozen Four in St. Louis will air on ESPN2. John Buccigross, Colby Cohen, and Quint Kessenich will provide the play-by-play and commentary during the game.
The Penn State vs. Boston University game is scheduled to drop the puck at 8:30 p.m. on ESPN2, although that start time could be adjusted depending on the outcome of the first game of the evening between Denver and Western Michigan. Denver and Western Michigan are scheduled for a 5:30 p.m. ET start time, so any potential overtime needed could push the start time of the second game back if necessary.
