Name the NCHC tourney.

Actually, I don't like any of these names. The Final Face off is the WCHA's women's tourney. I have to say no to that one. Of all of these the NCHC Fabulous Four is the best to me. 
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – After receiving more than 50 suggestions from fans over the past month for names for the National Collegiate Hockey Conference’s (NCHC) Championship Weekend, the league has announced the four finalists from which fans will ultimately decide the name for conference tournament’s final weekend. The NCHC Championship Weekend will be held March 21-22 at the Target Center in Minneapolis, Minn.
The four final names than fans can select from, as narrowed down by the NCHC staff, are :The NCHC Frozen Faceoff, The NCHC Final Faceoff, - the National Collegiate Hockey Championship, and The NCHC Fabulous Four. Fans can vote for their favorite name by taking the poll here. Fans will be asked for their name and email and can pick which name they like best. Fans then hit the “review” button, which confirms the information they have filled out. To complete the vote, fans then must hit “complete registration” for their vote to be recorded. Please note, fans are limited to one vote per valid email address.
Fan voting will remain open beginning today (Oct. 25) until Sunday, Nov. 10. The winning name will then be revealed the following week.
The “March to Minneapolis” is already underway as four teams opened up league play with a historic weekend Oct. 18-19. North Dakota traveled to Miami and the two sides split while Minnesota Duluth played at Colorado College and the teams split. The regular season concludes March 7-8 while the NCHC Tournament begins with the four quarterfinal series on campus sites (top four seeds) March 14-16. The four winners from the best-of-three series then advance to the Target Center in Minneapolis, where teams will compete for the inaugural NCHC Tournament title and an automatic bid to the 2014 NCAA Tournament.
