The NCAA announced Wednesday that the University of Minnesota Duluth has been named a host for the 2027 NCAA Division I Women's Frozen Four at AMSOIL Arena. It's the fifth time UMD has been selected to host the event, and it will mark the third time the NCAA Women's Frozen Four will be held at AMSOIL after it was successfully hosted there in 2023.

The University of Wisconsin won the 2023 NCAA title at AMSOIL Arena and in 2012, the University of Minnesota skated off with the victory. UMD was also the host school for the NCAA Frozen Four in 2003 and 2008, and both events ended in NCAA titles for the Bulldogs. UMD clinched their fourth NCAA women's hockey title in program history by blanking the University of Wisconsin 4-0 at the Duluth Entertainment Convention Center in 2008. That season, UMD sported the nation's best offense, averaging 4.26 goals a contest en route to winning a program-record of 34 triumphs. UMD made NCAA women's hockey history in 2003 by defeating Harvard 4-3 in double overtime for its third straight NCAA title. The title game was at the DECC for the first time in program history and held in front of a then NCAA women's hockey-record crowd of 5,167. The Bulldogs remain the only program to have won an NCAA title on their own ice and notably have done it twice.
