The Gustavus men’s hockey team is set to take on St. Olaf College in the MIAC Playoff Championship game on Saturday night at 7:05 p.m. in Don Roberts Ice Rink. Head Coach Brett Petersen, senior captain Ross Ring-Jarvi, and the rest of the Gustavus men’s hockey team have issued a challenge to all Golden Gustie fans to wear white to Saturday’s MIAC Championship game in an attempt to cause a ‘White-Out’ at Don Roberts Ice Rink.
No. 2 seed Gustavus earned a berth into Saturday’s championship after defeating Saint John’s 3-1 on Saturday, Feb. 25 in St. Peter.
