The seemingly inevitable conclusion has arrived, as the Women's Frozen Four championship will once again come down to Ohio State vs. Wisconsin.
The top two seeds in the 2026 NCAA women's hockey tournament will meet in the final for the fourth consecutive year, and this will mark the seventh straight Frozen Four in which one of the two rivals has taken home the trophy.
No. 1 Ohio State won its two previous tournament games by a combined score of 11-1. The Buckeyes are 36-4 this season, but three of those defeats have come against No. 2 Wisconsin, the defending national champion. Then again, Ohio State has handed the Badgers (34-4-2) two of their four losses, including in the most recent meeting at the WCHS Final FaceOff two weeks ago.
It should be another epic showdown between the nation's top two programs. Will Wisconsin go back-to-back or will Ohio State continue its run of even-year titles?
Here's everything you need to know to watch.
