Michigan won the first college hockey national championship in 1948. Led by coach Vic Heyliger, the Wolverines defeated Dartmouth 8-4 at the Broadmoor Ice Palace in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

The first official national title game in NCAA Division I women’s ice hockey took place in March 2001. Minnesota Duluth defeated St. Lawrence 4-2. The Bulldogs went on to win the next two national championships and then added two more, one in 2008 and another in 2010.
