Governor's Cup (New York) (original) (raw)

The Governor's Cup was an annual ice hockey tournament hosted by Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and Union College. The tournament was sponsored by Citizens Bank and was held each fall at the Times Union Center in Albany, NY. The Governor's Cup began in 2006 and was intended to increase interest in the ECAC Hockey League, which holds its championship tournament at the same location in March. Both Rensselaer and Union participated in the tournament each year, and two other teams (usually from the ECAC Hockey League) were invited to complete the field.
