The Boston Red Sox and Hockey East jointly announced today that the second renewal of the Sun Life Frozen Fenway would have two additions: Boston College will play Northeastern in a primetime showcase, preceded by a high school rivalry game of Catholic Memorial vs. B.C. High. The BC/NU game will start at 6:00 p.m., while the preceding game will start at 3:00 p.m. No word yet on any television coverage.

From a Red Sox press release:

“After the January 7th hockey doubleheader at Fenway Park sold out in less than a week, we wanted to offer hockey fans another opportunity to watch an outdoor game at the ballpark this winter,” Red Sox executive vice president and chief operating officer Sam Kennedy said in a statement. “The addition of these two games also gives Boston residents a rare chance to see two popular local teams compete at both the high school and collegiate level.”

 From a Northeastern press release:

“Our hope at Northeastern is for our student-athletes to make memories that will last them a lifetime,” Northeastern Director of Athletics Peter Roby said. “Playing hockey against Boston College at Fenway Park as part of its 100th year celebration will certainly be a memory our players, coaches, alumni and fans will never forget”.

The marquee matchup will be the 214th installment of the Northeastern – Boston College series. The Eagles have won three-fourths of the decisions and hold a 152-46-14 advantage since the first game was played on Feb. 3, 1933 (BC, 8-6). It will also stand as the 84th Hockey East matchup between the Huskies and Eagles with BC owning a 50-24-8 (.343) edge in 82 league contests.
