Thanks so much for the information - that really cleared things up a lot! I was thinking for some reason the Frozen Four followed the conference tournament and you had to win that to get in. I know little to nothing about hockey and have only recently gotten into it after living in the Twin Cities. I was impressed with Grand Forks and Engelstad after a visit last year and combine that with my dislike of all things Gopher and you've got a new ND hockey fan!
