MILWAUKEE, Wis. - The field for the inaugural Holiday Face-Off college hockey tournament to be held at the Fiserv Forum, home of the NBA's Milwaukee Bucks, was announced today (June 15) by the Gazelle Group.
 
Providence College, Bowling Green, Wisconsin and Yale will participate in the event from December 28-29. Semifinal play will take place on Tuesday, December 28 with the championship and third-place games on Wednesday, December 29. Matchups and game times will be announced at a later date.

"We are excited to begin what we believe will be the top national men's college ice hockey tournament in the country," says Rick Giles, president of the Gazelle Group. "For us to be able to attract four of the most distinguished programs in the nation shows that these programs want to compete against the very best and we plan on continuing to bring together the best teams in college hockey to play at one of the finest venues in the country, Fiserv Forum."

"We are proud to bring major college hockey to Fiserv Forum as we continue to offer a diverse list of events at the arena," said Fiserv Forum and Bucks President Peter Feigin. "Milwaukee has a rich history of college hockey tournaments, and we look forward to continuing the tradition by hosting the Holiday Face-Off at Fiserv Forum."
