Posted: Mon Aug 13, 2012 11:15 amThanks to BCI for the heads up but there's a new tournament in Pittsburgh starting this season at the Consol Energy Arena and according to Bowling Green, BC will be playing in it next season.
The other 3 opponents are pretty crappy but York always likes to get away over Christmas/New Years

Bowling Green will play in one of college hockey’s newest events during the 2013-14 season. The Falcons will join host Robert Morris, Penn State, and Boston College in the Pittsburgh College Hockey Invitational. The event will be played between Christmas and New Year’s at Consol Energy Center, home of the NHL’s Pittsburgh Penguins.
In addition to the Falcons, the tournament will have a distinct BG flavor. Former Falcon head coach Jerry York, who guided BG to the 1984 NCAA championship, is the head coach at Boston College. Penguin head coach Dan Bylsma and assistant coach Todd Reirden are former Falcon players and assistant coaches.
“It’s pretty neat Jerry York and his ties to Bowling Green, and Dan Bylsma and Todd Reirden and their ties to Bowling Green will be there,” Falcon coach Chris Bergeron said. “The fact they were interested in having Bowling Green be a part of this is a great thing. We’re excited about it.” Bergeron said it hasn’t been decided if the event will be played in a true tournament format with semifinal, consolation and championship games or if the pairings for each day will be determined in advance.
The event debuts this season with Miami and Ohio State joining Robert Morris and Penn State.
