For the second straight year, UConn men’s hockey will face Yale in the first game of the Connecticut hockey tournament, formerly known as the Connecticut Ice Festival. Puck drop is set for 4 p.m. ET on Saturday, Jan. 27 at Quinnipiac’s M&T Bank Arena.
Now in its third year of existence, the tournament between the state’s four Division I hockey programs will rotate between the school’s on-campus rinks and currently does not have a name after SNY dropped its sponsorship. It was previously held at Total Mortgage Arena in Bridgeport.
Last season, UConn beat Yale in the first game of CT Ice but fell to Quinnipiac in the final.
