Matt.Kaskavitch Gamers converged on North Hall this morning to partake in the 2nd annual EA Sports NHL 10 Showcase Showdown. Two clear favorites emerged as Mike Morgan (G) and Tom Lescovich (G) both won their first rounds convincingly. Brandon Larson (D) is still in a best-of-three series battle with new UW-Stout hockey color commentator Dan Walenski. That third game should make for one exciting finish.
Matt Kaskavitch (play-by-play) was knocked into the losers bracket along with Devils’ Advocate fan Caleb Sherman. Their fates have yet to be fully determined.
Many tournament favorites were no-shows for the event including Tony V (DA), Matt Morin (F) and Jared Britton (F).
The tournament is set to finish next weekend as schedules conflicted and the tournament had to be put on halt for the day.

Matt.Kaskavitch The Devils’ Advocates would like to welcome all the incoming freshmen to UW-Stout’s class of 2013. It looks to be another exciting year on-campus for hockey fans! The Devils’ Advocates (DA), UW-Stout hockey’s official student section, are looking for new hockey nuts for the 2009-2010 season!
The DA was founded in 2005 by members of UW-Stout’s ROTC program. Membership has been slowly growing since then and exploded in the last two years. Many students have to get to the rink at least one-hour before the start of the game to get a seat in the section. Many supporters also gather two hours in advance of the game to tailgate in the parking lot with loud music and a custom built portable fire trailer maintainted by the student section. Students often intermingle with UW-Stout alumni and parents of the players while tailgating outside.
You may be asking yourself, what do I need to join the Devils’ Advocates? Absolutley nothing, well maybe a passion for Stout hockey! Just come down to a home game and introduce yourself to any student wearing a Stout hockey jersey and tell them your a freshmen, they’ll gladly welcome you and teach you the ways of the DA! Need a ride from campus to the arena? No worries, a DA can cover that! Want to go to an away game but have no wheels on campus, hook up with some DA’s and car pool to the road game!
Want to let the DA know your a future fan!?! Leave a comment below on this post and be sure to join the Devils’ Advocates group on Facebook!
