Hockey, as you know, is the greatest game on planet Earth. That is why it is always amazing when the game is played anywhere and everywhere. The entire world deserves to enjoy the greatest game ever invented. It will certainly be shared when the Friendship Four returns to our lives.

This amazing event will bring four college hockey teams to Ireland to play in a tournament. This tourney winner will take home the Belpot Trophy! It is going to be a very exciting event that everyone needs to be checking out when it is happening.

This is going to take place in November of 2024 in Belfast, Northern Ireland. It is going to be a ton of fun to watch these young hockey players compete in what should be an amazing event.

The four schools chosen to represent the NCAA in this are the University of Notre Dame, Boston University, Harvard University, and Merrimack College. These four schools are all great and deserve this opportunity.

The Friendship Four is going to be magnificent hockey for everyone to watch.

Notre Dame is participating in the event for the first time ever. With being the Fighting Irish, it is fitting that they are finally going to Ireland for hockey. They are also going to be the first team to ever represent the Big Ten in this event.

The Boston University Terriers will be going for the second time ever while the Harvard Crimson will be there for the first time. Both of them are representing Hockey East here. The Terriers lost to Union College in the championship game of this event in 2018.

Seeing a team like Merrimack go is going to be so fun as well. This is a great chance for people to learn about them and their hockey program.

If BU plays against Notre Dame in this tournament, it will make it three years in a row that the two schools compete in the game of hockey. It should be awesome TV to watch! Hopefully, everyone is ready for some great hockey overseas and we can grow the game everywhere!
