History
editNorth Dakota founded their ice hockey team in the late 1920s. However, due to the Great Depression, the program was shuttered for most of the 1930s. The then-Fighting Sioux returned in full after World War II and were one of only a handful of teams west of the Appalachians.[4] In 1949, Denver joined in with a team of their own and the two became founding members of the MCHL two years later.[1] With the exception of 1959, the two have remained conference rivals since and are typically regarded as two of the top programs in college ice hockey. As of 2024, Denver has the most national titles (10), with Michigan (9) and North Dakota (8) not far behind. Additionally, the two have met in the final game on four separate occasions (1958, 1963, 1968, 2005) which is also tied for the most common championship rematch in NCAA history.[5]
