SAVANNAH HOCKEY CLASSIC
Back to the Original Four!
College Hockey South and the Savannah Sports Council are proud to announce the 4 teams playing in the Savannah Hockey Classic for the 2023-24 season: Florida, Georgia, Georgia Tech and Tennessee. These 4 teams first faced-off in the inaugural tournament in 1998-99 season with Georgia Tech winning the first tournament.
Like every year in the past, this year’s tournament will be the weekend of the Martin Luther King holiday, January 12-13, 2024. The Florida Gators are the defending Savannah Hockey Classic champions.
