Big Ten 4

Hockey East 9

Eleven of the country’s most storied college hockey programs are competing in the inaugural Big Ten/Hockey East Challenge, which includes 13 games between Oct. 18-27.

The conference that records the most points from the 13 games will be declared the winner, with points being awarded as follows: two points for a win, one point for a tie and a bonus point for a road win. Should each conference record the same number of points, the results of the Penn State – Vermont game, played on neutral ice, will serve as the tie-breaker.
