While the current Gopher and Badger Hockey teams will be backing off in a key Big Ten series in Madison this weekend, several alums of the two schools will be getting ready for their own border battle. As one of the events associated with the annual Hockey Day Minnesota event, a team of former Gophers will take on a team of former Badgers on a rink outside at Lowell Park in Stillwater.
The event was the brainchild of former Badgers Tom Sagissor who now lives in Stillwater and current Stillwater High School coach Matt Doman, a former Badger forward.
