The first men’s hockey national championship was played between Michigan and Dartmouth in 1948. Since then, 24 programs have ended their season with the title. But, some of those programs have been more dominant than others.
These are the men’s college hockey programs with at least five national championships under their belt.
Minnesota — 5
Championships: 1974, 1976, 1979, 2002, 2003
Minnesota has five national championships, but they all came in two decades. The 1970s were a prosperous time for the Gophers, resulting in three titles. Two of those titles came over Michigan Tech, which claims three titles, while the third was over North Dakota.
