Zaraki KenpachiThe battle for the 2024 Frozen Four begins Friday as the NCAA Men’s Hockey Tournament begins. The tournament returns to the ice a year after the COVID-19 pandemic shut things down. In 2024, the coronavirus has already had an impact, forcing Notre Dame to drop out, giving Boston College a win before the tournament even started. Meanwhile, teams like UMass and AIC will be looking to make a statement against No. 1 seeds Wisconsin, North Dakota, Minnesota and BC.

More coverage via the Associated Press
Notre Dame is out of the NCAA Division I men’s hockey tournament due to multiple positive COVID-19 test results and contact tracing within its Tier I testing group.
The decision announced Thursday was made after consulting with local health department officials at one of the regional sites in Albany, New York, and the NCAA Medical Advisory Group.
After losing in the opening round of the Big Ten Tournament, the school said the team remained in conference testing protocols through last Saturday and began additional PCR testing on campus. The university said the team went through seven rounds of testing in the seven days leading up to its departure for Albany on Wednesday.
The Fighting Irish were the fourth seed in the Albany Regional and were slated to take on top-seeded Boston College on Saturday at the Times Union Center.
BC now advances to the next round.
