The Huntsville Sports Commission and College Hockey South (CHS) are proud to announce that the Veterans Cup will return to the Huntsville Ice Sports Center in Huntsville, AL, on Nov. 9 and 10 to honor America’s military veterans for the fourth consecutive season.
Four teams will go head to head in a two-day showcase: the University of Alabama, the University of Alabama-Huntsville, Auburn University, and The University of South Carolina. The Gamecocks will make their Veterans Cup debut, slotting in to replace Middle Tennessee from last year’s event.
The schedule and game times are as follows:
Saturday, Nov. 9, 2024
5:30 PM CT - Alabama vs. Auburn
8:00 PM CT - Alabama-Huntsville vs. South Carolina
Sunday, Nov. 10, 2024
10:00 AM CT - Third Place Game
12:30 PM CT - Championship Game
Last season, Alabama defeated the Alabama-Huntsville Chargers, 3-2, and the Auburn Tigers, 1-0, to win the Cup. While the Tigers handed the Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders a 5-4 loss the day prior, they struggled to get on the scoreboard in the final, solidifying the Frozen Tide as the 2023 Veterans Cup champions.
This November, Alabama may see a new – yet familiar – opponent in its quest for a repeat Veterans Cup championship. The South Carolina Gamecocks – the reigning AAU DI National Champions – bested the Frozen Tide in three-of-four regular-season matchups last season. Should the teams reunite in this year’s championship game, the contest would prove to be a true testament to the recent success of both programs.
College Hockey South looks to honor any and all veterans in attendance. Veterans who are recognized will – in addition to waived admission – be provided with an additional free ticket for a guest, and will be part of pre-game ceremonies.
