One side of the Frozen Four bracket features teams that have combined for 12 national championships and 43 Frozen Four appearances.

On the other side, the national championships column is empty and Frozen Four experience is slight.

Boston University will play North Dakota in a semifinal matchup of two of the most accomplished programs in college hockey history. Providence and Omaha are matched in the other semi, with the Friars making their first Frozen Four appearance in 30 years and the Mavericks their first ever.

The Terriers and UND are both No. 1 seeds; Providence emerged from the East Regional as a No. 4 seed, while UNO was the No. 2 seed in the Midwest.

They’ll meet at TD Garden in Boston for the Frozen Four on April 9 and 11.
