History
The tournament was originally known as the First Interstate Classic when it began in 1984. In 1993, it was discontinued when the Seawolves joined the WCHA. Then it was reborn in 1999 when the WCHA reduced its league schedule to 28 games.
In 21 previous tournaments, eight teams that played in the Classic have advanced to the Frozen Four that same year.
