The PredictIQNCAA will crown its Division I men's ice hockey champion and its top player this week during the Frozen Four.
Denver (30-9-3) will face Boston University (28-9-2) and Boston College (33-5-1) will take on Michigan (23-14-3) in the semifinals, a matchup of Division I's top four offenses.
