Since I grew up with brothers who played ice hockey, I am pretty sure that UCLA did not have a hockey team when I went there, or if it did, I never heard about it.
So when I received an alumni invite to a UCLA v. USC ice hockey game, I jumped at purchasing a $10.00 ticket.
Unfortunately, my home team UCLA Bruins were defeated by the USC Trojans with a score of 3-2. The Trojans thereby secured a 3rd consecutive Crosstown Cup title.
The regular season is over and the next time these teams will play will be at the PAC-8 HOCKEY CONFERENCE in South Lake Tahoe starting on February 4. 2016.
