The previous Guinness world record for an outdoor hockey crowd was 77,803 at this year's world championship in Germany.
An adjudicator for Guinness World Records was on hand to verify the feat. He confirmed that the attendance was more than enough for a world record, although he said his organization would need a bit longer to come up with an official attendance figure.
The game took place nine years after the same two teams played another outdoor game at Michigan State's football stadium. Since then, the idea has been copied at the college level and by the NHL.
