Utica’s Hockey History

Did you know Madison Square Garden was designed after the Utica Auditorium? What if we told you it had a hidden bar - or two? And what if we also told you, it was the site of the best hockey movie scene ever filmed? Don’t worry, we would’ve gone 0-for-3 in the shootout, too. So, it’s only fitting that a historic IIHF Women’s World Championship joins in on the hockey history ice: a new champ gets crowned this weekend.
