Tickets are now on sale for this annual national tournament event, being hosted by Lindenwood University & the St. Louis Sports Commission in the USA Arena at Centene Community Ice Center in Maryland Heights. This 3-game post-season semifinal round will determine one of the four teams who will compete in the 2024 Frozen Four Championship in early April. I didn't check the ticket sales site to see how many seats are left (I purchased my seats late last week during the pre-sale period); but if you have any interest in top tier men's college hockey, this will be a rare opportunity to see it played in the St. Louis area.

SCHEDULE
Session 1: Friday, March 29 - 4 pm & 7:30 pm
Session 2: Sunday, March 31 - 5:30 pm

NOTE: Dates are over the Easter weekend

College hockey is cool and I have to imagine seeing a few games in a smaller arena like Centene will be awesome. I highly recommend this to anyone that can go.

Hope to see Minnesota there.

Presuming the defending national champions emerge from their conference tourney (Gophers are 3-3-2-1 in B1G play so far), I reckon they'd garner preferential treatment re. which Regional they join. The Sioux Falls, S.D. Regional would likely be a familiar & supportive attendance advantage for them, while the St. Louis Regional will be an experiment to test organizational readiness for the 2025 Frozen Four @ Enterprise Center. Better for Minny to take the trodden path than the rough ice.

ETA: I prefer East Coast hockey styles to Middle/West play, so I'd root for Hockey East or ECAC or a dark horse out of AHA or CCHA (or even an at-large team) to shine @ Centene Ice.

He could commisserate with fellow Minnesota hockey escapee Perunovich over a few clandestine cold ones, as they watch Dartmouth Big Green take on the Canisius Golden Griffins for the Regional Championship at The Madhouse in Maryland Heights.

You should take that campaign hashtag to Instagram. Call it: "Mugs for Snugs" and get his fans to post selfies while smiling about this unique hockey opportunity.
