With all of the conference tournaments well behind us, 16 teams have begun competing for the ultimate prize – the NCAA Championship Trophy. The regionals kicked off yesterday in Maryland Heights, Missouri, Providence, Rhode Island, Sioux Falls, South Dakota, and Springfield, Massachusetts. By the end of this weekend the number of teams left will be at four and they will head to St. Paul, Minnesota for the Frozen Four from April 11th-13th. There are some names competing that Lightning fans might be familiar with over the next few weeks.
Boston University – Jack Harvey
Michigan State – Isaac Howard
Michigan University – Dylan Duke
Boston College – Eamon Powell
University of Minnesota – Connor Kurth
McKade Webster’s Denver Pioneers are in the tournament as well (and survived a double-overtime game against UMass) but Webster is currently injured and won’t be participating.
