The Ohio State Buckeyes and Wisconsin Badgers women’s hockey clubs will face off at historic Wrigley Field next January. The two teams will meet as part of a two-day series of hockey games at the venerable baseball stadium in Chicago.

“Taking the rivalry outdoors,” the Buckeyes announced.

Ohio State fans received the news via a post on their women’s hockey X account.

OSU and Wisconsin have combined to win the last five women’s hockey NCAA championships, so this will be a star-studded affair on the North Side. There’ll be a plethora of games on ice that weekend, as college hockey fans are being served like they never have before.

This announcement follows another big one this week. ESPN will air more volleyball games this year on its networks, including a first-ever broadcast on ABC.
