\"\"<\/a>The Big Ten and Chicago Cubs announced Thursday plans to host a pair of college hockey doubleheaders at Wrigley Field in Jan. 2025.<\/p>\n

The event will be known as The Frozen Confines: Big Ten Hockey Series.<\/p>\n

The Frozen Confines will feature three Big Ten men\u2019s hockey games, plus a WCHA women\u2019s game, the weekend of Jan. 3-4, 2025 at Wrigley Field. Big Ten Network will carry all four games live. While the order of games is pending, start times are set for 4 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. CT on Jan. 3 and for 4:30 p.m. and 8 p.m. CT on Jan. 4.<\/p>\n

The game pairings are:<\/p>\n

\nOhio State vs. Michigan, BTN<\/p>\n

Saturday, Jan. 4, 2025<\/strong>
\nOhio State vs. Wisconsin, BTN
\nWisconsin vs. Michigan State, BTN<\/p>\n

Michigan, Michigan State, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Penn State and Wisconsin each spent time in the national polls last season with four of the teams finishing in the top 10. Since 2022, all six schools have seen NCAA tournament action with Michigan advancing to three straight Frozen Fours.<\/p>\n

On the women\u2019s side, Ohio State and Wisconsin have combined to win the last five national championships and have met in the last two NCAA championship games.<\/p>\n

The weekend of college hockey follows the NHL Winter Classic between the St. Louis Blues and Chicago Blackhawks on Dec. 31, 2024, the second NHL Winter Classic to be held at Wrigley Field.<\/p>\n
