UNLV has announced the Skatin\u2019 Rebels\u2019 ACHA Division I team will play two NCAA Division I games against Denver and Colorado College in Colorado.<\/p>\n
The Skatin\u2019 Rebels, coming off an appearance in the ACHA Division I national championship game, will play Denver Dec. 28 at Magness Arena and Colorado College Dec. 29 at Ed Robson Arena.<\/p>\n
“We want to have a schedule that is going to prepare us for the national tournament,\u201d UNLV coach Anthony Vignieri-Greener said in a news release. \u201cAdding games like this will only help the program get one step closer to its ultimate goal of making the jump to NCAA.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe road is tough, but if you go into these hostile environments, it only helps your team. You want to play at the highest level in front of a packed house, which both schools have unbelievable atmospheres.\u201d<\/p>\n
This will be the Rebels’ second appearance against Denver. The first battle between these two teams occurred on Oct. 1, 2022, in UNLV\u2019s first NCAA Division I game, a 10-0 setback.<\/p>\n
“I\u2019m looking forward to playing (Denver) again. Playing them two years ago was eye-opening,\u201d Greener said. \u201cAs a staff, we must prepare our team better. We must take away time and space in the neutral (zone). We have to do a better job of taking care of the puck and not getting into a track meet with the best team in college hockey.<\/p>\n
\u201cOverall, it\u2019s an unbelievable opportunity and we don\u2019t take these games for granted.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
