Maple Leafs prospect Matt Knies is playing tonight in the Frozen Four semi-final with the University of Minnesota. Don’t confuse them with Minnesota State because that’s their opponents.
The Frozen Four is the annual NCAA hockey championship played each spring. The NCAA is divided into various conferences, and teams play most of their games within their conference. Those conferences have playoffs and declare a champion. Once all those results are in, those top teams are padded out with teams chosen by a committee to play in the regionals. The four regionals whittle the teams down to four finalists for the big show.
