The NCAA Division I men's ice hockey tournament is a college ice hockey tournament held in the United States by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). Like other Division I championships, it is the highest level of NCAA men's hockey competition.
The first Broadmoor World Arena in Colorado Springs, Colorado, known from 1938 to 1960 as Broadmoor Ice Palace (and not to be confused with the current World Arena), hosted the tournament for the first ten years and has hosted eleven times overall, the most of any venue.[1] Denver has won the most tournaments with ten, while Vic Heyliger has coached the most championship teams, winning six times with Michigan between 1948 and 1956.[2][3] Jerry York has made the most appearances in the title game with nine, going 5–4 in the process.
