While there haven’t been any schedules posted just yet for the women’s hockey 2019-2020 season, there appears to be a blockbuster showcase on the docket for Thanksgiving weekend.
According to the Nashville Predators’ Ticketmaster site, the Boston College Eagles, Harvard Crimson, Minnesota Golden Gophers, and defending national champion Wisconsin Badgers will converge on Smashville for what’s being billed as the “Country Classic” — a women’s hockey showcase between four of the powerhouse NCAA women’s hockey programs. The showcase has been rumored for the last couple years, but appears to finally be official.
Boston College will take on Minnesota on Friday, November 29th, with Harvard playing Wisconsin later in the afternoon, before the teams will swap east/west opponents on Saturday, November 30th, pitting the Eagles against the NCAA champion Badgers and the Crimson against the Gophers.
