Perfect 10: University of Denver hockey wins NCAA championship

DU claimed the title on Saturday by shutting out Boston College 2-0 in front of a sellout crowd at the Frozen Four Championship in Saint Paul, Minnesota. Since then, seemingly all of Denver has been celebrating the big NCAA win.

Not only did Gov. Jared Polis give the team a shout-out on X, but the Denver International Airport also welcomed the team home with a special entrance at touchdown. The airport tweeted photos of the team heading off the plane with the NCAA trophy in hand.

On Saturday night, the Denver Police closed streets near the campus in preparation for the large number of pedestrians and fans in the area after the championship game.

After people spilled out into the streets on Saturday after the win – the party will continue into Monday.

The team is celebrating the 2024 Denver Hockey National Championship at Magness Arena at 6:30 p.m. where fans can take a picture with the trophies and get autographs from the team.

It is a free community event where the first 1,500 fans will receive a commemorative championship poster after the doors open at 6 p.m.
