The Minnesota Golden Gophers hockey team will restart their 2019-20 season this weekend by hosting the 27th Mariucci Classic at 3M Arena at Mariucci. It will be an All-Minnesota affair reminiscent of the short lived North Star Cup when the Gophers host Bemidji State in one semifinal Saturday night and St. Cloud State and Minnesota State play in the other Saturday afternoon. The Gophers will play one of the Huskies/Mavericks on Sunday night in their the third place game or Championship game depending on Saturday’s results.
The Gophers have not had the best start of the season.
