Hockey: Ohio gears up to take on Illinois in a weekend series

After a week off, Ohio is heading to Urbana-Champaign with hopes of defeating Illinois

Ohio is traveling to Champaign-Urbana to take on University of Illinois in a weekend series matchup. After a week off, the Bobcats are looking to continue their undefeated season against the Illini.

Series Information

Opponent: Illinois (0-4)

Location: The Big Pond Ice Arena (Champaign-Urbana, IL)

Series Dates: Oct. 14 and 15 at 7 p.m.

Opponent History: Last year's series against the Illini was cut short due to a malfunction with the Olympia ice cleaner, and the last time the Bobcats took on the Illini before that was in the Central States Collegiate Hockey League championships in March of 2020. That game ended up being delayed 11 hours, and the Bobcats fell to the Illini due to their clean offensive strategy.

Player to Watch: Heading into the series, Aiden Grieco will be a player to watch for Ohio after a hat trick against Alabama.
