The final teams are left standing (or skating) in the Frozen Four. Denver, Western Michigan, Penn State and Boston University will battle it out for the right to be national champions.

While the Broncos and Nittany Lions are competing for the first title in program history, the Pioneers and Terriers are no strangers to winning it all.

Denver leads all teams with 10 national championships, while BU has five titles.

We'll see if the national championship matchup is one full of newcomers, legacy performers or a mix of the two on Thursday, April 10.

What School has the Most Frozen Four Championships?

Denver leads the way with 10 national championships, the most recent coming last season. The Pioneers dominated the 1960s, winning four titles and have had a resurgence since 2004, winning five more.

Michigan is second place with nine championships. The Wolverines won six titles in seven years in the 1950s, then had another strong run in the late 1990s. Michigan hasn't won a championship since 1998.

North Dakota comes in third with eight titles. The Fighting Hawks have at least one championship in every decade from the 1950s, except the 1970s (it remains to be seen if the program will win one in the 2020s).

Wisconsin sits in fourth place with six national championships. The Badgers won four titles in 11 years from 1973-83. Their most-recent win came in 2006.

There is a three-way tie for fifth place, with each school winning five titles. Boston College's best run was winning three championships in a five-year stretch (2008-12). Boston University was a powerhouse in the 1970s and last won in 2009. Finally, Minnesota won three titles in the 1970s and went back-to-back in 2002 and 2003.
