By @MichaelCaples –

If you really, really want to have your college hockey-viewing schedule figured out well in advance, you’re in luck.

The Big Ten announced today that tickets for the 2017 Big Ten Men’s Ice Hockey Tournament at Joe Louis Arena are now on sale.

The tournament, which will take place from Thursday, March 16 through Saturday, March 18, will feature all six Big Ten teams playing in a single-elimination format.

The tournament will be the final college hockey games played at Joe Louis Arena before the Red Wings move to their new home in The District Detroit. According to a report in September, the 2017 edition of the tournament will also be the last time the Big Ten hosts their playoffs at a neutral site, as well.

Individual tickets will serve as day-long passes for Thursday’s quarterfinals and Friday’s semifinals, and single-game for the championship game on Saturday.

Lower level reserved rows 0-1 are $45 per day, while lower level reserved rows 2-20 are $30 per day. Upper level general admission seats are $18 per day.

Tickets can be purchased at the JLA box office, all Ticketmaster outlets, or by phone at 800-745-3000. They are available online at OlympiaEntertainment.com.
