It began on March 26, 2004, and ended with the championship game on April 10. A total of 15 games were played. This was the first season in which the Atlantic Hockey sent a representative to the tournament. Atlantic Hockey assumed possession of the automatic bid that had been the possession of the MAAC after it collapsed and all remaining ice hockey programs formed the new conference. This year's tournament was the second year in a row to feature multiple programs, Holy Cross and Notre Dame, making their first appearance in the NCAA playoffs. The University of Denver, coached by George Gwozdecky, won its sixth national title with a 1–0 victory in the final game over the University of Maine, coached by Tim Whitehead before a record crowd of over 18,000 people at Boston's FleetCenter (now known as the TD Garden). While Denver's Gabe Gauthier scored the game's only goal, the game is best remembered for Denver surviving Maine's six skaters to three skaters advantage in the final 90 seconds of the contest.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lvLB2rQOZy8 Maine vs. Denver 2004 NCAA Hockey Championship Highlights YouTube Denver goaltender Adam Berkhoel was named the tournament Most Outstanding Player.

The Championship Committee seeds the entire field from 1 to 16 within four regionals of 4 teams.
