For the second straight year, the Everblades College Classic--in only its third year of existence--features the strongest group of four teams of all the holiday tournaments in the country, in my opinion.  This year's field is:

Maine (#2 USCHO, #1 USA Today, #2 RPI, #2 PWR, #2 KRACH)
Cornell (#3, #3, #1, #1, #1)
Ohio State (#11, #11, #5, #7, #7)
UMass (others receiving votes [#17 USCHO & #16 USA Today], #19 RPI, #20 PWR, #15 KRACH)

USCHO wrote that these teams "may be the toughest field of any of the holiday tournaments."

not to add to the confusion but....uscho on their schedule for next week notes that the game vs. maine is at 5 eastern  ::uhoh::

how difficult is it to obtain tickets?  (ie will it be possible day of the tourney)?  do tix for both days need to be bought?  how much are they charging?
who all is going?

I was able to buy walk-up tickets two years ago; however, Everblades season ticket holders have had the tournament included, so there are fewer tickets for general sale than you might think.  Each day has its own ticket, and face value is $14.

Laura Stange has kindly informed me that the Cornell-Maine game is scheduled for 7:30 pm EST on Saturday, December 28.  As I write this message, USCHO's schedule correctly notes the 7:30 scheduled start time.  The games the following day are scheduled for 4:00 and 7:30.

is the OSU/ UMASS game before the Cornell game, then?

[cbuckser]

Yes, Ohio State and U Mass will play at 4:00 pm.  Finally, R.J. Umberger and Dave Steckel will play for OSU in the holiday tournament.  They played at the WJC in 2000 and 2001.
