Icechipper Posted October 14, 2023 Share Posted October 14, 2023 (edited) The Icechipper has moved to Bemidji, Minn., and this season will be following the CCHA's Bemidji State University. Will also be at the NCHC's University of North Dakota contests at Ralph Engelstad Arena for a few contests. Was on hand as the NCAA Icebreaker tournament commenced at Bemidji's Sanford Center Friday with Big 10 Wisconsin Badgers defeating the Beavers 4-3 in overtime before 2,200, including a good showing of Wisconsin fans. Meanwhile, in Grand Forks, the Fighting Hawks rolled the Army West Point Black Knights before 10,000 at the Ralph. Army and West Point switch U.S. Highway 2 rinks tonight for the nonconference conclusion. What college clubs are you following this season?

Icechipper Posted October 15, 2023 Author Share Posted October 15, 2023 (edited) The NCHC's University of North Dakota held off a big, tough Big Ten opponent University of Wisconsin 2-0 Saturday night in Grand Forks to win the 2023 NCAA Icebreaker Tournament before 11,000 at Ralph Engelstad Arena. At Sanford Center, in Bemidji, Minn., the BSU Beavers of the CCHA defeated Atlantic Hockey's Army West Point 3-2 in OT before 2,000 for consolation. UND and BSU co-hosted the tourney this year. An annual kickoff to the American collegiate hockey season, the Icebreaker was created by the Hockey Commissioners Association in 1997. It spotlights clubs from four different conferences each October. Those four clubs receive an exemption to exceed by two games the NCAA's 34-game regular season cap. The Big 10's University of Minnesota hosts the 2024 Icebreaker in October at Orleans Arena in Las Vegas, Nev. That will feature Air Force of the Atlantic, Nebraska-Omaha of the NCHC and UMass out of Hockey East. 2023 Icebreaker Scores: Friday UND 7 Army 3 Wisconsin 4 BSU 3 OT Saturday UND 2 Wisconsin 0 BSU 3 Army 2 OT Edited October 15, 2023 by Icechipper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
