HOUGHTON, Mich. – WalMart Junior Hockey Night headlines the game night promotions at Michigan Tech hockey this weekend as the Huskies host Minnesota Duluth Friday and Saturday at the MacInnes Student Ice Arena.

Saturday’s Junior Hockey Night is sponsored by WalMart for the third consecutive year and gives area youth the opportunity to attend a Tech hockey game at a special rate, win great prizes and meet the Huskies in person after the game. The Huskies are offering a 50% discounted ticket rate of $5 for all youth 18 years old and younger. This rate is open to all youth in attendance (not limited to junior hockey players) and can be purchased in advance of the game. The highlight of the night is the chance for every youth in attendance to join in the postgame Skate With the Huskies, where each youth will receive a free team poster and an opportunity to get autographs from their favorite players and coaches. As usual, during the pregame and first period, there will be a registration table inside the main entrance near University Images where youth hockey players who are wearing their team jersey can sign up to win prizes during the postgame on-ice drawing.

For all discounted tickets, we ask that fans purchase tickets in advance of the game at the Central Ticket Office to alleviate traffic flow on game night. You can buy online at www.BuyHuskiesTickets.com <http://www.BuyHuskiesTickets.com> or in person at the SDC Ticket Office. The Ticket Office can be contacted directly at 906-487-2073.
