The US Hockey Hall of Fame Game is an annual NCAA Division I men's ice hockey game sponsored by the United States Hockey Hall of Fame. The game was first held in 1974 as part of induction ceremonies for the Hall's class of 1974. The game was held at the Eveleth Hippodrome in Eveleth, Minnesota for its first 19 years before moving to a variety of both campus and destination sites. The game has also been held for a number of special occasions, including the inaugural games held at 3M Arena at Mariucci, Ralph Engelstad Arena, and AMSOIL Arena, the Frozen Tundra Hockey Classic, and the Culver's Camp Randall Hockey Classic.
The US Hockey Hall of Fame Game is an exempt game, meaning it does not count towards the 34 regular-season game limit imposed on men's NCAA Division I hockey teams.
