SYRACUSE — The Syracuse Crunch today announced it’ll host the “Frozen Dome Classic,” the first professional hockey game held in the Carrier Dome when it takes the ice with the Utica Comets on Nov. 22.
Both teams are part of the American Hockey League.
Besides the Crunch-Comets matchup, the day-long hockey event will also feature an NCAA Division III matchup between the Utica College Pioneers and the Oswego State Lakers.
The event will also include a law-enforcement charity game involving the Syracuse and Utica police departments prior the Crunch-Comets game.
Tickets will go on sale to the general public at 10:00 a.m. on June 24 and will range in price from $20 to $50, the Crunch said.
And Saturday won’t be the only day with activities surrounding this event, Howard Dolgon, owner of the Syracuse Crunch, said in his remarks during the afternoon news conference in the Carrier Dome.
“We plan on [that] Friday to have a celebration of hockey in New York state … to have as many youth hockey players participate and enjoy the comforts of the Carrier Dome and ice hockey in the Dome,” said Dolgon.
It’s not the first time the Crunch has hosted a hockey matchup outside the Onondaga County War Memorial, its regular home venue.
The Crunch in 2010 played the Binghamton Senators in the Mirabito Outdoor Classic at the New York State Fairgrounds.
