The UW-Stout Blue Devils will have the chance of a lifetime in late January when they play in the Xcel Energy Center.  UW-Stout will face St. Olaf College on January 23rd, 2010 at 1:30 p.m.

In years past, games between the two schools have been at a neutral site.  The last two years brought the ‘College Hockey Showcase’ to Buffalo, MN as each team had one Buffalo, MN native on their roster.  A large cookout in the parking lot with plenty of community support in Buffalo, the College Hockey Showcase was a great success.  With both players now graduated, the series needed a new neutral site and what better place than the home of the Minnesota Wild (NHL).

January 23rd is a big day for hockey in Minnesota, it’s also Hockey Day Minnesota.  It’s unknown how much mention the match-up will receive on FSN’s coverage, either way it’s an exciting opportunity for everyone involved!

Keep checking back as we will have more information in the coming days.  You can also count on Stouthockey.com for coverage and content you wont find anywhere else while the team is at the Xcel Energy Center.
