It definitely feels like the first time for the Western Michigan Broncos hockey program as they captured their first-ever Frozen Four bid in program history following regional wins over the weekend against Minnesota State (2-1 in double overtime) and Massachusetts (2-1).
The Broncos will take on the defending champion Denver Pioneers in one National Semifinal matchup on Thursday, April 10th at 5 pm in St. Louis.
Michigan State, on the other hand, would be upset in their first NCAA Tournament game after allowing the eventual game-winning goal with ten seconds remaining in regulation against the Cornell Big Red.
