Men’s hockey to take on Maine in 2014 Frozen Fenway

The Boston University men’s hockey team will take part in its second Frozen Fenway game, this one against the University of Maine, as part of a two-week series of hockey and skating events at Fenway Park in January 2014.

The City of Boston, the Hockey East Association and Fenway Sports Management announced this third edition of Frozen Fenway on Thursday. BU played Boston College in the inaugural event Jan. 8, 2010, topping the Eagles 3-2 in front of a crowd of 38,472, the largest ever to watch a college hockey game in the eastern U.S.

“It’s truly an honor to be part of Frozen Fenway once again,” said BU assistant vice president and director of athletics Mike Lynch. “We couldn’t have asked for a better night back in 2010 when we started this event against Boston College. We’re thrilled to team up with Hockey East, Fenway Sports Management and the City of Boston for what should be another fantastic game against Maine in this edition’s finale.”

The BU-Maine game at Fenway Jan. 11, 2014 will headline the second of two Hockey East doubleheaders that week. Northeastern University and the University of Massachusetts-Lowell will play earlier in the day on the 11. Game times and ticket information will be announced in the coming months.

Merrimack College will play Providence College Jan. 4, followed by a matchup between BC and University of Notre Dame that evening. Public skating, which was part of the event in years past, is also expected to be part of the festivities.

“We are excited about the return of hockey to Fenway Park,” said Hockey East commissioner Joe Bertagna. “We are particularly pleased that with these two doubleheaders, all of our men’s programs will have had the opportunity to experience Frozen Fenway, including the University of Notre Dame, our newest member.”
