Ready for more outdoor hockey? How about Michigan-Ohio State at Progressive Field?

Other outlets have since reported that an official announcement of a mid-January game will come on Friday night. A Michigan spokesperson declined to comment on the reports to AnnArbor.com and Curtis Danberg, director of communications for the Indians, would only confirm that Progressive is "in conversations" with both universities and targeting a January 2012 date.

The Detroit News reported that Michigan coach Red Berenson and captain Luke Glendening will participate in a press conference at Progressive Field before Friday night's Cleveland Indians' game against Pittsburgh.

The stadium has a recent history of hosting winter-time events. Last winter it hosted Snow Days, a two-month family-oriented event with a tubing hill and skating track..

The Cleveland Plain Dealer reported that discussions of an outdoor hockey game resulted in the first Snow Days. The Indians couldn't finalize the game last winter, but appear to have done so this year.
