TUCSON, Ariz – University of Arizona Wildcats Hockey is tied for first place in the Western Collegiate Hockey League – and will host its top league challengers this Thursday through Saturday at the Tucson Arena.

#15 Oklahoma starts the weekend Thursday, January 17 at the TCC. #8 University of Central Oklahoma, currently tied with Arizona for the league lead, visits on Friday, January 18 and Saturday, January 19.

“This is the most important home series for us so far, no doubt,” said head coach Chad Berman. “We can control our own league destiny with good play this weekend, and the stakes are high for all the squads.
