The Frozen Four, hosted by Michigan State and the Detroit Sports Commission, will be played at Little Caesars Arena on Thursday, April 9, and Saturday, April 11.

“The Frozen Four in Detroit is a great opportunity to showcase the city’s passion for hockey, our great people and downtown’s resurgence,” said Hammaren in a news release. “The NCAA, city of Detroit, Michigan State University and the Detroit Sports Commission are all looking forward to hosting college hockey fans from across the country and Canada.
