USA Hockey announced today that HockeyTV will stream all 16 games of the 2018 USA Hockey Warrior Classic, presented by Terry Fator. The third annual event, which includes two divisions, will take place in Las Vegas at City National Arena, the practice facility of the NHL's Vegas Golden Knights.
Tournament play will include eight games on Friday, four on Saturday and four games - including the two championship games - on Sunday. Fans can attend all games free of charge. Live streaming by HockeyTV will be available at USAHockey.HockeyTV.com.
