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 plenty of drama: Arizona State took home the inaugural Adirondack Winter Invitational trophy in 2023, followed by the University of Massachusetts Lowell in 2024 and the University of Alaska Fairbanks in 2025. Clarkson has competed in every Invitational, while St. Lawrence has competed twice. Other past participants have included Cornell, UMass Amherst, and Providence College.
