Great Park Ice & FivePoint Arena will host the SoCal Clash, a two-game series between the Harvard Crimson and Arizona State University Sun Devils NCAA Men's Hockey teams on Dec. 28 (4 p.m.) and 29 (1 p.m.), 2019. This will mark the first time since 1999 that an NCAA Division I hockey game will be played in Orange County. The last time an NCAA Division I contest was played in Orange County was during the 1999 Frozen Four at Honda Center featuring Maine (National Champions), New Hampshire, Michigan State and Boston College.

This will be the first and only time the teams will faceoff during the 2019-20 NCAA hockey season. Previously the teams have met four times, with Harvard claiming three of those matchups and Arizona State winning the most recent contest Nov. 17, 2018 in Boston.
