Michigan Tech is hosting the 2022 Great Lakes Invitational at Van Andel Arena in Grand Rapids on Dec. 27-28. GLI premier Michigan State will join the Huskies along with Western Michigan and Ferris State as the teams compete in the two-day single-elimination tournament for the McInnes Trophy.
The 57th GLI begins Tuesday, Dec. 27 with a doubleheader between Michigan Tech and Western Michigan at 3:30 p.m., followed by Michigan State vs. Ferris State at 7 p.m. The winners of those contests advance to the GLI Championship Game on Wednesday. On December 28 at 7 pm, the puck will drop in the third round game at 3:30 pm on the same day.
The Great Lakes Invitational was first held in 1965 after the idea for the tournament was conceived by Michigan Tech coach John McInnes, Olympia Stadium general manager Lincoln Cavalieri and Detroit Red Wings scout Jack Patterson. The tournament has been played at Olympia Stadium (1965–78), Joe Louis Arena (1979–2012, 2014–16), Comerica Park (2013) and Little Caesars Arena (2018–19). Covid-19 canceled the 2020 GLI and the teams played an exhibition-style event in the 2021 season.
It will be the 17th time in tournament history with four Michigan teams. Michigan Tech has won the GLI 11 times in 55 contests and is the defending champion after a combined 4-2 record in the 2019 GLI. Michigan State has 12 GLI titles in 47 contests. Western Michigan has three titles in five appearances. Ferris State will be making its third appearance in the tournament.
