Celebrating 100 Years of Rensselaer Hockey
On Saturday, Feb. 9, Rensselaer will celebrate
"100 Years of Rensselaer Hockey" with a series of events. The day kicks off with the annual Alumni Hockey Game at the Houston Field House. The puck will drop at noon for this free event.

The celebration continues at the Big Red Freakout Ice House, followed by the 25th Anniversary Big Red Freakout hockey game.
Ice House begins at 4:30 p.m. in the Heffner Alumni House. All Rensselaer alumni, students, faculty, staff, and friends are invited to enjoy a buffet dinner before the game, and get a tattoo or have your face painted by the Red and White student organization. Ice House attendees can park at the Heffner Alumni House and take a free shuttle to the doors of the Houston Field House.

The Big Red Freakout game featuring the Engineers vs. Clarkson begins at 7 p.m. Seating is limited for this nearly sold-out game.

After the game, the free shuttle will return to the Heffner Alumni House where Ice House attendees can meet the members and coaching staff of the men's varsity hockey team and enjoy a cash bar, warm beverages, and dessert.

Reservations should be made as early as possible, but no later than Friday, Feb. 1. The first 200 registrants receive a "100 Years of RPI Hockey" commemorative gift.

The Office of Alumni Relations has purchased a limited number of tickets for the 25th Anniversary Big Red Freakout game. The tickets are available on a first-come, first-served basis and are available only to attendees of Ice House.
