Die US-amerikanische Collegemeisterschaft im Eishockey wird jährlich von der National Collegiate Athletic Association ausgetragen. Sie gilt als bedeutendste Eishockeymeisterschaft, die ausschließlich in den USA ausgetragen wird, da sowohl die National Hockey League als auch die American Hockey League zusammen mit Kanada organisiert werden.
Die Eishockey-Finalserie der NCAA wird „Frozen Four“ genannt. Bei Herren und Damen wird in zwei Divisionen gespielt, wobei jeweils die Division I den Landesmeister ausspielt. Der beste Spieler bei den Herren wird mit dem Hobey Baker Memorial Award ausgezeichnet. Simultan dazu gibt es für die Damen den Patty Kazmaier Memorial Award.
