Live updates from the 2026 Men’s Frozen Four in Las Vegas

Mayweather vs. Pacquiao, Tyson vs. Holyfield, Michigan vs. Denver.

It’s the latest heavyweight bout in a city that has seen hundreds over the years, and it’s less than 30 minutes away.

The first NCHC vs. Big Ten matchup of the night went the Big Ten’s way, with Wisconsin downing North Dakota, 2-1. Now, the Wolverines and Pioneers take center stage in Las Vegas for Pt. II.

Michigan comes into the Frozen Four off a nailbiter against Minnesota Duluth in the regional finals. The Wolverines nearly let UMD come back from a 3-0 deficit, but they slammed the door late in the third to squeak out the 4-3 win. 

Michigan has the longest title drought of the four teams in Vegas: 28 years. A win tonight would put the Wolverines one step closer to ending the drought and tying Denver for the most national titles all time.

Meanwhile Denver has cruised into the Frozen Four, shutting out Cornell, 5-0, and stomping defending champion Western Michigan, 6-2, in the Loveland Regional.

The Pioneers’ 10 championships are the most of any school, and their 2024 title is the most recent of any of the teams in Vegas.  Another title this year would be their fourth since 2017 giving them more separation as the top program in college hockey of all time.
