Duluth Gets 2012 Women’s Frozen Four

The NCAA has awarded the 2012 Women’s Frozen Four to Duluth, Minn., and the new Amsoil Arena.

The arena, scheduled to open in the middle of the 2010-11 season, is set to hold 6,600 fans for hockey.

It is being built next to the DECC, which hosted the Women’s Frozen Four in 2003 and 2008 — both won by Minnesota-Duluth.

The 2011 Women’s Frozen Four is scheduled for Erie, Pa.
