College hockey fans may remember the last outdoor college hockey game played between rivals Michigan State University and the University of Michigan back in October 2001. The "Cold War" game drew 74,544 to Michican State's Spartan Stadium to watch the two teams play to a 3-3 tie. The game was internationally televised and sparked the outdoor ice hockey game craze which has now become a first day of the new year favorite.
