UW Men's Hockey Student Shootout

press release: In anticipation for the Wisconsin men's hockey season, all UW students are invited to the Kohl Center on Wednesday, Sept. 16, for the third annual Men's Hockey Student Shootout.

Once again, students will have the opportunity to show off their skills on the ice with the Wisconsin men's hockey team in an accuracy shooting contest. Each participant will have a chance to score free season tickets and be part of the Crease Creatures during Wisconsin Hockey's 2015-16 season.

The Kohl Center doors at Gate A open for the Men's Hockey Student Shootout at 6:30 p.m., and the net will be open until 8 p.m. Admission is free and students must wear closed-toe shoes. Sticks and pucks will be provided.

The UW Athletics Ticket Office will be available for those students who wish to purchase Men's Hockey season tickets. In addition, UW students who have already purchased 2015-16 men's hockey season tickets can pick up their vouchers and Crease Creature t-shirts provided courtesy of XO1 and Grand Central. This will be students' first chance to pick up these items. If any UW student has purchased 2015-16 season tickets and wins a free season ticket package at the event, the original cost will be reimbursed.

The Badgers open the season Friday, Oct. 9, against Northern Michigan at the Kohl Center.
