Ohio State Buckeyes and Minnesota Golden Gophers women's hockey teams meet at Ridder Arena in Minneapolis for a collegiate matchup. Ridder Arena serves as the on-campus home of Minnesota's women's program and is notable as the first facility in the United States built specifically for college women's hockey, having hosted the NCAA Women's Frozen Four on four occasions. The venue sits adjacent to the 3M Arena at Mariucci, underscoring the longstanding emphasis on hockey at the Minnesota program.
