Western Michigan and Boston University are set up for a historic 2025 NCAA Men’s Ice Hockey National Championship at Enterprise Center in St. Louis.
WMU enters the championship game riding a wave of momentum after defeating Denver 3-2 in double OT, highlighted by a game-winning goal from sophomore forward Owen Michaels just 30 seconds into the second overtime period.
The Broncos dominated early, outshooting Denver 46-22, with standout performances from forward Alex Bump and freshman goaltender Hampton Slukynsky, who stood tall in crucial moments.
Boston University arrives after a commanding postseason run featuring wins over Ohio State, Cornell, and Penn State.
BU brings a deep, balanced roster that features high-end NHL talent and scoring depth. The Terriers, known for their elite puck movement, defeated Cornell 3-2 and then knocked off Penn State to reach their first national final since 2015.
Keep an eye on Western Michigan’s relentless forecheck—led by veteran Tim Washe and breakout freshman Zach Nehring—against BU’s top defensive pairings. The Broncos’ defense, anchored by graduate Brian Kramer and freshman Joona Väisänen, will be tested by BU’s explosive forwards.
