The Three Rivers Classic is a two-day Division I college ice hockey tournament which is held annually at PPG Paints Arena, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The inaugural tournament took place on December 28–29, 2012 and featured teams from Miami University, Ohio State University, Pennsylvania State University and Robert Morris University. The second tournament was played out on December 27–28, 2013 and featured Penn State, Robert Morris, Boston College and Bowling Green State University. The Classic is the evolution of a showcase of games that the Robert Morris Colonials have played against the Ohio State Buckeyes and Miami RedHawks at either Consol Energy Center or Mellon Arena in previous years.

Since many fans of the National Hockey League's Pittsburgh Penguins (who play at Consol Energy Center) are also fans of Robert Morris and Penn State, the two teams are planned to be fixtures of the tournament in years to come.

Consolation game between Ferris State and BC was decided in a shootout for the tournament, however the game was officially a tie. BC def. Ferris in the shootout 2-1

On Day 1 (December 29), the Colgate Raiders defeated the Western Michigan Broncos 2-1, and the Robert Morris Colonials beat the Penn State Nittany Lions by a margin of 4-2.
