Fenway to host hockey doubleheader Jan. 8

Posted by Chad Finn, Globe Staff August 20, 2009 11:48 AM

As expected, Fenway Park will host a doubleheader of a different sport this winter.

Legendary men's college hockey rivals Boston University and Boston College will faceoff in the nightcap of a two-game set on Jan. 8, 2010, following a matinee between the University of New Hampshire and Northeastern women's teams.

The Huskies and Wildcats, two traditional women's college hockey powers, will start the festivities at 4 p.m, with BC and BU -- the last two NCAA men's champions -- meeting for the 248th time in the programs' histories at 7:30 p.m.

Tickets will go on sale to the general public at noon on Thursday, Sept. 17. Prices start at $5 and tickets will be valid for both games.
