"Being selected to host the Frozen Four is a huge honor for the University of Minnesota," head coach Laura Halldorson said. "I am very excited to have the Frozen Four on our home ice for the second time in five years. I'm sure that our department will put on a first-class event, and the fans will be treated to some incredible women's hockey."
Mariucci Arena was also the site of the 1999 American Women's College Hockey Alliance National Championship. The tournament drew an audience of 4,954, including 2,507 for the championship game. The Golden Gophers have led the nation in attendance since becoming a varsity sport in 1997-98. In addition, Minnesota holds the largest single-game attendance record when the Golden Gophers drew 6,854 fans for the first Minnesota women's hockey game, Nov. 2, 1997.
Ticket prices will be announced at a later date.
