The University of Minnesota is getting this year's Hockey City Classic outdoor hockey event, and will host it on Jan. 17 at TCF Bank Stadium in Minneapolis.
The headline event is a Big Ten men's game between the Gophers and Ohio State. But the opening act will be a women's game between Minnesota and Minnesota State.
You can read more from Minnesota State's release and Minnesota's release, but this should be a fun event. Too bad the Maverick men will be home that weekend playing Ferris State in what should be a big series in the new WCHA.
Last year, the first Hockey City Classic took place at Soldier Field in Chicago and featured men's games between Miami and Notre Dame followed by Minnesota and Wisconsin. Like last year, this year's event will feature youth, high school and adult hockey events, as well as private ice rentals, a public skate and more.
