Brooklyn's Barclays Center, which will be home to the New York Islanders next season, will also host two NCAA games with the launch of the "Brooklyn Hockey" platform on Sunday, Nov. 1.

Army West Point will face Bentley and Connecticut will face Notre Dame in the Atlantic Hockey-Hockey East doubleheader that has been introduced as the first of an annual event.

"We are thrilled to be launching Brooklyn Hockey, our college hockey programming platform, with a great doubleheader featuring teams from some of the best conferences in the sport,” said Barclays Center CEO Brett Yormark. “Barclays Center has become a must-play for major college basketball through our Brooklyn Hoops franchise, and hopefully soon the same will be true for our Brooklyn Hockey program.”

Tickets for each game will go on sale on Friday, May 1 at 10 a.m. and can be purchased online via Ticketmaster by visiting www.barclayscenter.com or www.ticketmaster.com, or by calling 800-745-3000. Tickets can also be purchased at the American Express Box Office at Barclays Center beginning Saturday, May 2 at noon. For information on individual suites, please call 718-BK-SUITE.
