The Marquette Mining Journal’s Steve Brownlee wrote an article about the Red Wings Alumni’s game against the “Yoopers United,” which is scheduled for tomorrow night in Marquette, MI:
The eagerly anticipated charity hockey game involving the Detroit Red Wings Alumni to be played in Marquette is coming Saturday night. That’s according to a number of Facebook postings and United Way of Marquette County Executive Director Andrew Rickauer.
He said doors open at the Berry Events Center at 5 p.m., special events begin at 6 p.m. and the featured game will be ready for opening puck drop at 7 p.m.
Rickauer said among the special events will be a sled hockey exhibition, and between periods during the featured game, under-8 and under-10 youth hockey teams will play exhibitions. Throughout the event, 50-50 and bucket raffles, chuck-a-puck and sales of team merchandise will be available.

This weekend’s exhibition pits former players from one of the NHL’s most storied teams against Yooper United, a collection of local hockey talent.
The event is a fundraiser for the United Way of Marquette County’s Community Investment Fund with tickets costing $20 per person. Tickets may still be purchased online at https://nmu.universitytickets.com or by calling 906-227-1032, or in person at the BEC even on Saturday as long as tickets are still available.
