Gopher Women's & Men's Hockey Saturday GOLD OUT

The Gopher Women's and Men's Hockey teams are encouraging all fans attending this Saturday's (January 31) Border Battle games against Wisconsin – at Ridder Arena and 3M Arena at Mariucci, respectively – to wear gold-colored apparel.  Additionally, gold rally towels will also be distributed to all attendees!!

Game coverage –

 
Traffic & parking alert – Fans coming to this weekend's games are advised allow time for additional vehicle and pedestrian traffic around the U. as Gopher Men's Hockey is also hosting Border Battle games against Wisconsin at 3M Arena at Mariucci both days (Friday at 7 p.m. & Saturday at 6 p.m.), and Gopher Gymnastics hosts Iowa at Maturi Pavilion on Saturday (at 4 p.m.).

Goals for a Goal!!

The Maroon & Gold posted a fourth-straight weekend series in which they lit the lamp more than 10 times, pushing their season-to-date total to 146 goals.  Twenty-four (24) of those have come on the power play! 

As the official booster club for the University of Minnesota Women's Hockey program, the primary objective of the Power Play Club is to provide financial support, and one method of doing that is partnering with the Golden Gopher Fund in the Goals for a Goal pledge-per-goal program! Register a pledge for every goal scored by the Gophers all the way through the playoffs, with the option to double your pledge for power play conversions.  Pledges can be submitted electronically through the online form at z.umn.edu/GoalsForAGoal.  Following the conclusion of the season, you will receive an email with your pledge total and giving instructions.

Brunch with the Coaches – Saturday, January 31 

Update: Coach Brad Frost will be joined by Gopher Women's Hockey associate head coach Greg “Boom” May, who served as an assistant coach for the United States Under-18 Women's National Team earlier this month.  We look forward to hearing from Coach May on what it took from a coaching perspective to lead Team USA to a gold medal-winning performance at the 2026 IIHF U18 Women's World Championship, along with his thoughts on the Gophers' play so far this season.

Note: Due to the recent passing of a close friend, Mark Johnson will not be able to attend the Brunch. Our thoughts are with Coach Johnson at this difficult time. More information is being sent to registered attendees - check your email for updates.

Gopher Women's Hockey fans who have registered for the Power Play Club's annual Brunch with the Coaches are reminded that the event starts at 9:45 a.m. this coming Saturday morning (January 31). The brunch will occur in the Club Room at 3M Arena at Mariucci.  Please enter the building through the Sundet Lobby on the southwest corner and take the elevator or stairs up to the third floor.  We look forward to seeing you there!!
