Highlights of Denver's 2-0 win over Boston College on Saturday, April 13, 2024 in the NCAA National Championship Game at Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul, Minn.
SAINT PAUL, Minn. – For a record-setting 10th time, the Denver Pioneers are NCAA Men’s Hockey National Champions. No. 3 Denver used stellar goaltending and a big second period to down No. 1 Boston College, 2-0, Saturday night at Xcel Energy Center in the NCAA National Championship Game. With the win, the Pioneers pass Michigan for the most NCAA National Championships in men’s college hockey history, earning their 10th, while the Wolverines are stuck on nine. The national title is also Denver’s second in three years and third in the last seven NCAA Tournaments (2017, 2022). DU’s victory also gives the National Collegiate Hockey Conference (NCHC) its sixth NCAA Championship since the conference began play in 2013-14, all coming since 2016 (in the last eight NCAA tournaments).
Along with Denver in 2017, 2022 and now 2024, the NCHC’s other national championships were won by North Dakota in 2016 and by Minnesota Duluth in 2018 and 2019.
