Last week, the Duluth News Tribune sent a crew of four to cover the NCAA Frozen Four at United Center in Chicago to cover the University of Minnesota Duluth men's hockey team's run at a national championship.
Even though the hometown team lost, the college hockey action did not disappoint last week. From practices, to the fan events, to the emotional post-game interviews, sports reporters Matt Wellens and Jon Nowacki, photographer Clint Austin and multimedia reporter Samantha Erkkila were there for it all.
Hear what goes on behind the scenes when covering college hockey's biggest event and what the future of the Bulldogs team look like for next season.
