Refreshing to see a beautiful, unique trophy for #TheNational Cup, since all the NCAA trophies, logos, and merch has become so uniform and boring.

Denver wins it. Freshman-to-freshman connection as Clarke Caswell with a beautiful feed to Kristian Epperson in front for the game winner. Pios are NCHC #FrozenFaceoff champs for the 4th time and first since 2024 (and first on home ice).

For a record-setting 4th time, the Pioneers are #FrozenFaceoff champions! 🏆

Congratulations to Denver on winning the 2026 NCHC National Cup! 👏

We are heading to OT tied 3-3 in @thenchc.bsky.social #FrozenFaceoff. Denver led 3-0 13 minutes into the game, but Minnesota Duluth has earned the right for this to go an extra session after such a dominant stretch late first period through the second. Pios responded in the third, but no goal.

All tied up in the title game! 💥
