Ice Vegas Invitational will return to Las Vegas

Before the first Ice Vegas Invitational had concluded, bd Global, the company putting on the tournament, announced plans for the event to return to Las Vegas.

The two-day college hockey tournament at T-Mobile Arena attracted schools from all over the country — Boston College, Northern Michigan, Michigan Tech and Arizona State — in the inaugural year.

The company has put on various college basketball tournaments and games around the valley, but president Brooks Downing said Thursday at a news conference that bd Global was “quick to realize that this is truly a hockey town,” and would bring back hockey along with basketball.
