BEVERLY, Mass. – The Endicott men's ice hockey team will host the inaugural Endicott Holiday Invitational this Saturday and Sunday, January 7-8, at Raymond J. Bourque Arena.

Endicott (8-2-2) checks into the invitational currently riding an eight-game winning streak, breaking the previous record of five which the team achieved twice last year. The Gulls also head into Saturday's action fresh off a regular series sweep with cross-town rival Salem State.
Neumann (10-3-1) comes to Raymond J. Bourque Arena ranked No. 11 nationally in the latest USCHO.com poll and No. 15 in the D3hockey.com poll.

In their most recent matchup, the Knights defeated Plattsburg St. (N.Y.) 7-1.
The Jumbos (6-2-1) are coming off a 3-1 victory against NESCAC conference opponent Colby and are looking to start the New Year with some quality wins after a month that saw two victories, a loss, and a tie before the holiday break.
Plymouth State carries a 6-4-1 record coming into Saturday's action, and look to bounce back from a 3-3 tie in an out of conference matchup with Castleton State University.
