Bedlam will be back in Boone Pickens Stadium this winter, but this time on ice.
The club hockey teams at Oklahoma State and Oklahoma will play a game in Boone Pickens Stadium 6 p.m. Jan. 30, OSU officially announced Tuesday morning. The rink will also be set up and available for the public to skate in the days leading up to the Bedlam on Ice game.
Tickets are now on sale through the OSU Ticket Office, and admission is free for OSU students.
“This is a historic event that reflects the remarkable growth of Cowboy Hockey in recent years,” OSU athletic director Chad Weiberg said in a statement. “Our students, alumni, fans, community and state will be able to see on full display the bold innovation of OSU Hockey and watch Bedlam in Boone Pickens Stadium.”
This year, the Cowboys are off to a 6-1-0 start, including an 11-3 win against the Sooners on Sept. 3 to open the season. Bedlam hockey was also played in February at the BOK Center in Tulsa, with more than 15,000 tickets being sold, and the Cowboys winning 13-2. OSU then went on to play in the ACHA men’s Division 2 national title game.
“Playing hockey in Boone Pickens Stadium is something you don’t get to do twice,” OSU Hockey captain Kaden Nelson said. “There’s going to be a lot of noise that night. A lot of people are going to come to see something they’ve never seen before. We’re coming to give them something they won’t forget. There have been a lot of sacrifices and dedication for this moment. We’re there to make a statement.”
