Join us for two action-packed days featuring four games (two each)—It all goes down in the legendary Herb Brooks Arena—the same ice where the Miracle on Ice stunned the world in 1980. Points mean everything, and only one team will skate away with the Adirondack Winter Invitational title.

Landing right in the thick of early conference play, the Adirondack Winter Invitational shakes things up with high-stakes, non-conference showdowns on neutral ice—perfect prep for the battles ahead in the second half of the season.

The tournament’s history already packs drama: In 2023, Arizona State claimed the first-ever title, outlasting Cornell in a shootout thriller. Clarkson grabbed third, edging UMass Amherst 5–4 in an overtime nail-biter. One year later, in 2024, UMass Lowell muscled past Providence to hoist the trophy.
