The Simon Fraser University club hockey team will host the second leg of the 1st annual University Hockey Classic on Saturday.

SFU will take on crosstown rival University of B.C. in a home-andhome series, beginning today (Friday) at 7 p.m. at the Thunderbird Sports Centre.

On Saturday, the two teams faceoff in Burnaby at the Bill Copeland Sports Centre. Puck drops at 7 p.m.

"It's hockey, it should be pumped up this way," said SFU head coach Mark Coletta at Thursday's press conference.

SFU's first-ever meeting earlier in the season against NCAA Division I ranked Air Force proved the team is competitive, said Clan captain Chris Hoe.

"This is another chance to prove we can compete at the CIS level," Hoe said.

SFU currently leads the B.C. Intercollegiate league with a 9-0-3 record.
