It is Championship weekend in the NCAA. All six Conferences will crown their champions today. For some teams, it is their last chance to earn an invite to the NCAA tournament, which starts next weekend. For most of the teams who are still playing, they're locked into the tournament and the Conference title would just be icing on the cake.

Denver lost its semifinal game last night 3-0 to Minnesota-Duluth. For some reason, the NCHC is the only conference that has a consolation game, which means Denver has to play another game today, despite it having no value in the overall scheme of things.

Pettersen made a really nice play to set up Denver's opening goal in today's game...

The game is currently tied 1-1 after 1.

After all the Conference champions are crowned today, the tournament committee will sit down and schedule the regionals for next weekend. The final bracket will be announced tomorrow at 5:00pm MT. That is when ASU and Denver (and all the rest) will find out where they're playing next week and what their road to the Frozen Four will look like.

Because of their current rankings, there is a chance that Denver and ASU could meet in the first round of the tournament.
