Winter is Here as Big Green Classic on ESPN+ Features Men’s Hockey

HANOVER, N.H. — "Big Green Classic" — a series of Dartmouth events from the past two years that are being streamed once again on ESPN+ — returns on Friday night with the rebroadcast of the men's hockey showdown between the Big Green and the second-ranked Cornell Big Red that was played just over one year ago on Dec. 7, 2019. Fans can tune into the online service of the Worldwide Leader in Sports tomorrow evening at 7 p.m. (EST) to relive the thrilling match that took place in Dartmouth's Thompson Arena.

The Big Green entered the game with a 3-2-1 record in ECAC Hockey and 3-3-1 overall with road wins at Yale and Brown and a home victory over Princeton while skating to a tie with 15th-ranked Quinnipiac. But the previous night, Dartmouth struggled on its home ice against Colgate, dropping a 5-1 decision. Drew O'Connor was the reigning ECAC Hockey Player of the Week having scored three goals and assisted on three others in the road sweep of the Bulldogs and Bears.

Cornell was on a roll, having won each of its first 10 contests. And when the season came to an abrupt end due to the COVID-19 pandemic in March, the Big Red had just two losses on its ledger.

This is the fifth of 13 games that will be streamed on the ESPN+ platform this winter. Each of the first four events can still be viewed for a limited time with a subscription to the service (links provided in the schedule below). The remainder of the eight broadcasts will be streamed after the holidays in 2021.
