'M' hockey may host preseason tourney in 2000 If all goes as planned, the Michigan hockey team will play host to one of college hockey's preseason challenges next fall, the Ice Breaker Tournament. On his local radio program yesterday, Michigan hockey coach Red Berenson said he is "95 percent sure" that Yost Ice Arena will be home to the 2000 Ice Breaker Tournament. The tournament is planned to take place over the weekend of October 6-7. Berenson wanted to bring together the best teams from the best conferences nationwide. Next season's lineup hopefully will include perennial powerhouses Michigan, Colgate, New Hampshire and North Dakota. This year, Denver played host and won the tournament. The other teams that participated in the Ice Breaker included Union, Providence and CCHA member Notre Dame. - Sarah Ensor Originally on page 10A in the 1-26-2000 issue of the Daily.
