Connecticut Ice
Connecticut Ice is an annual ice hockey event celebrating the tradition and progress of youth and amateur hockey in the state of Connecticut. The 3-day event is headlined by a 4-team tournament with participation from all of the state's four Division I programs: Connecticut, Quinnipiac, Sacred Heart and Yale.History
After years of organization, the first event was finally arranged for late January in 2020. The 3-day event will include youth tournaments from various levels of junior ice hockey and organizers were quick to dispel any correlation with the long-established Beanpot Tournament held in Boston. While organizers may be loathe to accept comparisons to other tournaments they would be, no doubt, thrilled if Connecticut Ice could establish itself on the same footing as other in-season championships.
SportsNet New York agreed to broadcast all four games of the tournament.
