Hockey fans are gearing up for the fall season’s coolest sport, and the city of Anchorage, Alaska, will be hosting the Kendall Hockey Classic, a premier preseason college hockey tournament for four of the top Division I college teams. Contenders include the St. Cloud State Huskies and the Clarkson Golden Knights along with their opponents, the University of Alaska Anchorage Seawolves and the University of Alaska Fairbanks Nanooks.
