There will be a large tent including live music from a rock band which will begin playing at 5:30 p.m. There will also be $1 hot dogs being sold hot off the grill. Coach Terry Watkins encourages all fans to come early and come prepared to tailgate!

“It’s just going to be a lot of fun, I hope we get lots of people taking part in the tailgating.” said Watkins. “It’s a great tradition we have here at Stout” he added.

So be prepared to get there early on Friday night, 5 p.m. is a good bet! Bring your appetite and tailgate equipment!

There will be multiple large bonfires ongoing during the tailgate and after the game to stay warm!

The video game madness is set to take place on October 11, 2009 on the UW-Stout campus. The tournament will have both PS3 and Xbox 360 platforms available. The entry cost for participants is $5.

The tournament will be using NHL10 from EA Sports which was just released this week. NHL09 won a plethora of awards including sports game of the year.

A couple of favorites have emerged for the tournament. Sophomore goaltender Mike Morgan (Northfield, MN) is currently ranked in the top 1000 on Xbox live. Sophomore Matt Morin is another potential championship contender.

“This is a chance for fans to play against their favorite Blue Devil hockey player on the sticks.” said Matt Kaskavitch.

Devils’ Advocates Now Recruiting Students!

July 25th, 2009

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!
