CHICAGO, Ill. — The University of Wisconsin and the University of Notre Dame men's hockey teams will play in Chicago for the second year on Sunday, Jan. 20, 2019, at the iconic United Center arena. The game is scheduled to start at 6:30 p.m. CT.
Tickets for the contest are now available for purchase online at unitedcenter.com, in person at the United Center Box Office or by calling Ticketmaster at (800) 745-3000.
"Both our team and our fans had great experiences last year and we look forward to another one this time around," said Wisconsin head coach Tony Granato. "It is not every day that you get to play in an NHL building like the United Center, so to get the chance to do that and connect with the Blackhawks again, is something special."
In the first year of the two-year series where each school moves a home game to the United Center, Wisconsin routed the Fighting Irish, 5-0, in a victory that saw then-No. 1 Notre Dame's 16-game winning streak end.
Fans visiting the arena for the match-up will be able to experience the many upgrades the United Center is making to evolve from an arena to a state-of-the-art campus, including new restaurants, exclusive VIP clubs and updated amenities with the goal of taking the fan experience to another level.
"We're thrilled to announce year two of this matchup and look forward to delivering a great experience for both the student athletes and fan base for each university," said Joe Myhra, Sr. Vice President of Operations & Administration at the United Center. "We hope to build on the success of last year's event and once again bring competitive NCAA hockey to Chicago and the United Center."
Doors for the event are set to open at 5 p.m. CT.
