== History ==
In 1978, the American universities fall under the blow of the law [[Title IX]]: a text of law voted in [[United States Congress]] in 1972 and which forbids any discrimination made for the women in courses of study financed by the federal government.

{{quote|text="No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance..."|sign=United States Code Section 20|source=<ref>{{UnitedStatesCode|20|1681}}</ref>}}

The application of the Title IX plans that the [[Women's ice hockey]] players receive so much financing, time of ice rink and overseen training as the male players <ref>Michael McKinley, Hockey A People's History, McClelland & Stewart ltd 2006, pp 237 -238. ISBN 978-0-7710-5769-4</ref>. Now there are resistances in the NCAA<ref>[http://www.now.org/nnt/05-97/titleix.html Linda Joplin, California NOW Athletic Equity Committee, Twenty-Five Years After Title IX: Women Gain in Steps, Not Leaps]</ref> The NCAA Championship of Women's ice hockey begins only during the season 2001-2002. But several university women's teams are established from the beginning 1970s:

In 1965, the [[Brown university]] create the program ice hockey for her women's students. The team takes the name of " Pembroke Pandas". The Pandas amass funds for the purchase of their equipment during the matches of the team of male hockey. In February 1966, the Pandas play their first match. Their opponents are Walpole Brooms a non-collegial team, and the Pandas lose by a score 4-1. It is the first collegial women's ice hockey team of the history in United States. The Women's ice hockey program of [[Cornell university]] begins in 1971. The Big Red team competes for its first match in 1972. It is a victory of 4-3 on Scarborough. In 1972, they play eight matches and lose half of their matches among which two defeats against Pembroke Pandas. [[Yale university]] makes its debuts in Women's hockey on December 9th, 1975. It is similar history for [[University of Minnesota-Duluth ]], [[University of New Hampshire]], and the [[Ivy League]]<ref>Michael McKinley, Hockey A People's History, McClelland & Stewart ltd 2006, pp 237 -238. ISBN 978-0-7710-5769-4</ref>.

On 1976, the Brown university is the host of Ivy League. Other rival universities are Cornell, Princeton and Yale. [[Cornell Big Red]] win the tournament.

The Minnesota-Duluth university women's ice hockey team has however a length beforehand on all the others having been established a few years earlier with a players' impressive quantity number<ref>Michael McKinley, Hockey A People's History, McClelland & Stewart ltd 2006, pp 237 -238. ISBN 978-0-7710-5769-4</ref>. The first Collegial tournament women's ice hockey of North America is organized in 1978 at the Minnesota-Duluth university<ref>Michael McKinley, Hockey A People's History, McClelland & Stewart ltd 2006, pp 237 -238. ISBN 978-0-7710-5769-4</ref> . The university of Minnesota takes gains even champion's title in this first continental tournament. The tournament grows year by year and the competition gains new teams in universities and college: ([[Dartmouth Big Green]]in 1978, [[Harvard Crimson]] in 1978-79, [[Princeton Tigers de ]] in 1979. At the beginning of 1980s, the Women's ice hockey continues to grow and be accepted in the university sports clubs<ref>Michael McKinley, Hockey A People's History, McClelland & Stewart ltd 2006, pp 237 -238. ISBN 978-0-7710-5769-4</ref>

In 1984, [[Providence Friars]] takes gains the inaugural Championship of the new Women [[Eastern College Athletic Conference]]. However after all this progress, a university in [[Pennsylvania]] tries in 1984 to make the Title IX go off the rails. The university refuse to sign a statement of conformity of the Title IX and take issue in justice court . In 1992, [[Supreme Court of the United States]] status cut and when the plaintiffs can ask for compensatory damage to universities and colleges by virtue of the Title IX if the discrimination is deliberate. Consequently, in front of possible pursuits, bigger sporting variety are added for the students in universities including the ice hockey<ref>Michael McKinley, Hockey A People's History, McClelland & Stewart ltd 2006, pp 240. ISBN 978-0-7710-5769-4</ref>. The NCAA leads from his part in 1992 a vast study on the equity between students men and women in sports. March 21st, 1994, the State of [[Minnesota]] sanctions the law on the Women'ice hockey leagues as a school sport<ref>Michael McKinley, Hockey A People's History, McClelland & Stewart ltd 2006, pp 240-241. ISBN 978-0-7710-5769-4</ref>

Revision as of 22:24, 11 January 2012

The annual NCAA Women's Ice Hockey Championship tournaments determine the top women's ice hockey teams in NCAA Division I and Division III. Women's ice hockey does not have a Division II classification. Under NCAA rules, Division II schools are allowed to compete as Division I members in sports that offer championships only in Divisions I and III.[1][2] The official name of the "Division I" tournament is the National Collegiate Women's Ice Hockey Championship, which reflects the NCAA's formal terminology for championship events that are open to schools from multiple divisions.

This tournament is a single elimination competition of eight teams (seven for Division III) that has determined the women's collegiate national champion since 2000-01, when the NCAA began sponsoring the sport. The semi-finals and finals are called the "Women's Frozen Four." This moniker is similar to the name used by the NCAA Men's Ice Hockey Championship. The term is derived from the term "final four."

The Patty Kazmaier Award ceremony takes place annually during Women's Frozen Four weekend.
