Frozen Four Picks - 2026 NCAA Hockey Tournament Bracket & Best Bets | The College Hockey Experience

The College Hockey Experience (@TCEonSGPN) of the Sports Gambling Podcast Network give out their 2025 NCAA Hockey Tournament Bracket Picks and best bets for the Frozen Four. On the show Colby Dant (@TheColbyD), Noah Bieniek (@NoahB77_), and Troy Chewning (@troychewning) provide their Frozen Four Picks and break down all the College Hockey tourney games.

 

They begin by noting the shift from Pairwise to NPI that affected UMass and UConn. Bieniek then dives in on the NCHC and Big Ten vs Hockey East head-to-head conversation and the debate on whether NCAA Tournament Regional games should be played on-campus or at neutral sites. Plus the duo talks about the impact of the Frozen Four being hosted in Las Vegas and highlight that eight of the ten Hobey Baker Award finalists are in the field.

 

Then, Dant and Bieniek break down the first-round matchups and betting angles. After, they finish by discussing Frozen Four appearance and national championship betting odds.
