In the first of their final three matches in 2010, the U.S. Men's National Team drew with Poland 2–2 behind goals from Jozy Altidore and Oguchi Onyewu in front of 31,696 fans at Soldier Field. The U.S. twice took the lead, on Altidore's goal in the 13th minute and again on Onyewu's in the 52nd, but Poland was able to respond both times to earn the draw. The tie was the second straight for the U.S. against Poland on home soil as the last match between the two countries on July 11, 2004 – which was also played at Soldier Field – ended in a 1–1 draw.

The first game was also a one-goal thriller, as Notre Dame defeated Miami of Ohio, 2–1.
  473. "2013". hockeycityclassic.com. Hockey City Classic. Retrieved November 3, 2015. FEBRUARY 17, 2013 – SOLDIER FIELD, CHICAGO Notre Dame 2, Miami University 1 – Playing in its first-ever outdoor hockey game in program history, the University of Notre Dame built a two-goal lead and held off a late Miami University rally to earn a 2–1 victory in front of 52,051 fans at Soldier Field in Chicago, Ill. "It was a great atmosphere and an unbelievable experience", Notre Dame defenseman Sam Calabrese said. The game featured stellar play from both goaltenders, including Notre Dame's Steven Summerhays, who stopped 22 of 33 shots fired his way on the day. Mario Lucia got the scoring started for the Fighting Irish when he whipped a one-timer past RedHawks net-minder Ryan McKay at 12:42 in the second period. Notre Dame added to its lead early in the third period when Jeff Costello banged in a rebound of Anders Lee shot to give the Irish a two-goal advantage. Miami cut the Irish's lead in half a little over a minute later thanks to a goal by Kevin Morris, but Summerhays and the Notre Dame defense stood tall and fought off the late charge. Wisconsin 3, Minnesota 2 – Wisconsin used three second-period goals to build a lead and withstood a third-period surge to defeat Minnesota, 3-2, at Soldier Field. John Rumpel recorded 36 saves, with 15 of those stops coming in the opening 20 minutes. "His performance in the first period allowed us to get our feet out and underneath us", Badgers coach Mike Eaves said. "Then we rode an explosive period in terms of goal scoring for us." The Badgers scored all three of their goals in a remarkable 3 minutes and 19 seconds in the second period as Kevin Schulze, Brendan Woods and Sean Little all found the back of the net. Minnesota mounted a furious rally in the closing period, scoring twice, but Rumpel came up with his biggest save of the day when he turned away the Golden Gophers' final shot at the buzzer to preserve the win.
