Florida College Hockey Classic
The Florida College Hockey Classic (formerly the Everblades College Classic) was a
Germain Arena in Estero, Florida
, United States.
First contested in 2000, the four-team tournament was initially jointly hosted by
University of Maine with the remaining slots filled by invitation.[1] In January 2014, after 14 years of participating, Maine announced it was ending its affiliation with the tournament. Florida Everblades owner Craig Brush said that a second host school would be found[2]
although this never happened and Cornell hosted alone for the remaining years of the tournament.
The tournament champion was awarded the coach that took Maine to two NCAA titles.[3]
The final edition of the Florida College Hockey Classic took place 28 and 29 December 2016. In the first round match-ups Cornell defeated Northern Michigan University 5-2 and Colorado College defeated Merrimack College 3–0. Colorado College defeated Cornell 2–1 in overtime in the championship game while Merrimack defeated Northern Michigan 4-2 for third place. This was Colorado College's second appearance at the tournament and first title.
