First UNO Hockey Series of the 2015-16 Season

Info re: this weekend's games: The #11 UNO Mavericks take on the #6 Mankato Mavericks in Mankato, Minnesota

Friday night's game WILL be shown on the Jumbotron at Baxter Arena. The arena will open at 5 p.m. for the Season Ticket Holder pickup event. Game is at 7:07 p.m. The entire game will be shown. Concessions stands will be open so you can try out the new arena's food choices, including the #SilverSpoon-winning fare from the Nineteen 08 concession stand featuring regionally sourced food.

Update as of 10/9/15: UNO students will also be allowed to watch Friday night's game on the big screen at Baxter Arena. Students should enter through the student entrance on the south side of the arena.

If you don't want to go to Baxter Arena, Dudley's Pizza in Aksarben Village will also have the game (live stream). Their address is 2110 S. 67 Street, right next door to Aksarben Cinema.

OR, you can purchase the live stream directly from WCHA.tv. The cost is $5.99 for each game:

OR, you can drive the five short hours to Mankato and watch the first game of the season in person. Pre-game is apparently at Pub500, about a block from the arena.
