The University of Denver hockey team recently secured a 7-1 exhibition victory against the USA Hockey U-18 team at Magness Arena. Following this win, Denver was scheduled to host the University of Michigan for a two-game series starting October 16. This matchup marked the first regular-season meeting between the two programs since 1981. Prior to the series, Michigan was ranked No. 2, while Denver entered as the defending national champions. In the series matchup at Magness Arena, the University of Michigan defeated the University of Denver. Malcolm Spence led the Wolverines with two goals, including an empty-net goal, while Jayden Perron and Cole McKinney also scored. Goaltender Jack Ivankovic anchored the victory by stopping 27 of 28 shots. Despite a late push from Denver in the third period, Michigan maintained their lead and successfully killed off a 5-on-3 advantage during the contest. Michigan ultimately secured a two-game sweep against Denver, including a 4-1 victory on October 16. The series served as a highly anticipated rematch of the Frozen Four semifinal. Before the matchup, Denver celebrated by raising its 11th NCAA national championship banner to commemorate its 2026 Frozen Four victory. Despite early offensive pressure from Denver, Michigan controlled the series, as Denver struggled to capitalize on multiple power-play opportunities and maintain possession.
