Frozen Four – Pittsburgh

The Frozen Four featured four teams that were seeking their first championship. This was only the second time this had happened since the first NCAA championship tournament in 1948, the other time being in 1958. Additionally, of the four Frozen Four participants in 2013, only Yale had previously reached the tournament semifinals, having finished third in the 1952 tournament.[6] Yale's championship was the first for a team from ECAC Hockey since 1989. The championship game between Yale and Quinnipiac was the first time the championship game was contested between two ECAC Hockey teams since 1978. With Quinnipiac defeating Union to advance to the Frozen Four and Quinnipiac losing to Yale in the final, the only teams to defeat an ECAC school in the tournament were other schools from the ECAC.
