I mostly follow Notre Dame, because all of their games are on Peacock. But I try to catch games with big time prospects when I can.

Do you know how the post season works in college hockey?

I see that the schools in the north and Midwest are actually NCAA sanctioned teams.

It’s a few schools in the south with hockey teams but I don’t think they’re apart of the NCAA. I wonder if UGA, Georgia Tech, Clemson etc are eligible for the Frozen Four playoffs

There are six D1 conferences that are eligible for the NCAA Tournament, and yeah all of them are in the Midwest or Northeast. There are also a handful of independent programs that aren’t in that region, like Arizona State and Alaska, that can qualify for the Tournament.

A lot of the other schools participate in the ACHA, which is like structured club hockey. They don’t offer scholarships or any financial incentives, but the best players have the chance to get seen by NCAA schools and get an offer. These teams don’t get to qualify for the NCAA Tournament though.
