The game between the arch rivals will be the first hockey game to ever be played at the stadium.

The Wolverines are no stranger to outdoor games. Since 2001, Michigan has competed in eight outdoor hockey games, and it boasts a 4-3-1 record in such games.

Last season, the Wolverines plowed through both their non-conference and conference schedules as they reached the Frozen Four for the 26th time in program history. Ohio State didn't have nearly the season that Michigan did last year. The Buckeyes finished with a 22-13-2 overall record, including a 13-9-2 mark in Big Ten play.

The two teams met four times last season, and the Wolverines won the season series 3-1.
