Some of the best programs in NCAA women's hockey will come together at the University of St. Thomas for the 2027 WCHA Final Faceoff yet again this season. After hosting in 2026 for the first time in program history, St. Thomas will again host this season at the Lee & Penny Anderson Arena from March 4-6, 2027.
"The WCHA is thrilled that our premier conference event will be back at the Lee and Penny Anderson Arena at St. Thomas," said WCHA Commissioner Michelle McAteer.
"We heard from student-athletes, coaches, fans, and media that last year's event was top-notch. The St. Thomas staff worked tirelessly, and the arena is one of the most impressive in college hockey. We are confident that it will only be better in year two."
Last season, the Ohio State Buckeyes defeated the Wisconsin Badgers to claim their third WCHA title.
The WCHA playoffs open February 26 with four best-of-three series' with the winners advancing to the Final Faceoff, and the winner heading to the NCAA national championships.
