The tournament will feature St. Lawrence (15-15-7 in 2021-2022) and Clarkson (22-12-3 in 2021-2022) from the Eastern College Athletic Conference, Syracuse (15-11-6 in 2021-2022), a member of the College Hockey America Conference, and Holy Cross (3-30-0 in 2021-2022), a member Hockey East.

Lake Placid is known for being the training home of the first Olympic Gold medal-winning women’s team, and of course, for the Miracle of Ice.
