FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME since the
event's inception in 2007, a MIAC matchup is on the
Hockey Day Minnesota docket. Augsburg will host
Saint John's University on Friday, Jan. 27 at 5:45
p.m. at Polar Lakes Park in White Bear Lake.
"The games between Augsburg and Saint John's
are always fast, skilled, and physical. The rivalry has
been magnified the last handful of years, as we have
played in a couple epic overtime games in the finals
of the MIAC playoffs. It is a weekend we look for-
ward to every year," Auggies' head coach Greg May
said in a release. "Having the opportunity to showcase not only our rivalry, but
Division III hockey and specifically the MIAC, as part of Hockey Day Minnesota
is an honor."
"This will be a great event for not only SJU and Augsburg, but also to promote
and bring awareness to MIAC hockey," Johnnies' head coach and White Bear
grad Doug Schueller said. "We want to show the State of Hockey that the MIAC
and NCAA Division III hockey is entertaining, and a great option for hockey fans
around the state. I expect we will have a great atmosphere and it should be a very
good hockey game."

MIAC'S Moment in the Sun
AUGGIES HAVE
HIGH HOPES
The Augsburg men's hockey
team has high expectations
for the 2022-23 campaign.
The Auggies won the 2021-22
MIAC regular season title and
made a run all the way to
the NCAA Semifinal, falling
short against eventual
NCAA champion Adrian
College. Augsburg finished
25-5 last year.
Red Wing native Fritz
Belisle tied for the
team lead in goals
last season and he
returns as a senior.
