The Hockey Day schedule features only the third outdoor game ever for the University of Minnesota women's hockey team.
“We are honored to be part of Hockey Day Minnesota 2025!” said Gopher women's hockey head coach Brad Frost. “Any time we get to showcase collegiate women’s hockey on one of the biggest hockey days of the year is incredible. This will be an amazing experience for our student athletes."
