All it took to have the interim tag removed was making it to the Frozen Four after being thrust into the role in early August.

It should be a good Frozen Four. Michigan plays Quinnipiac, which beat Ohio State. They are a private school in Connecticut. UofM played them last year in the NCAA tournament.

Boston University vs. Minnesota is other game.

Now the real question is why have it in Tampa? Not exactly a traditional college hockey hotspot. It was in Boston last year.

Quinnipiac vs. Minnesota in the finals.

Their last national title was in 1998. They have gone 1-7 in national semifinals games since then.

Quinnipiac kicked Michigan's ass. Oh well.

Quinnipiac scored 10 seconds into OT to win the national title, 3-2.

Not really. The game was pretty evenly matched. Q scored 2 weak goals off of Portillo's back in the third period to break open a 2-2 game. Q played phenomenal defense for most of the game.
