The Spartan Hockey Team takes to the road to open their season in Portland, ME
The 2015-16 hockey season begins tonight for the Michigan State Spartans in Portland, Maine in the annual Ice Breaker Tournament that marks the beginning of the college hockey season. Tonight the Spartans will take on the host Maine Black Bears from Hockey East, before taking on Lake Superior State of the WCHA Saturday afternoon. As mentioned in the season preview posted earlier this week, the Spartans need a strong out of conference showing before conference play begins to help their cause in ending the NCAA Tournament appearance drought.
