The quarterfinals were contested at the campuses of the seeded teams on March 11, 2017. The Frozen Four was played on March 17 and 19, 2017 at Family Arena in St. Charles, Missouri with Lindenwood University as the host.[1]
The tournament was won by Clarkson with a 3–0 win over Wisconsin, giving the Golden Knights their second title in program history.

In the third year under this qualification format, the winners of all four Division I conference tournaments received automatic berths to the NCAA tournament.
The other four teams were selected at-large. The top four teams were then seeded and received home ice for the quarterfinals.[2]
