Sat. night NCAA hockey ticket information here

March 13, 2008

Tickets for Saturday's NCAA men's hockey quarterfinal playoff game between St. Thomas and St. Norbert to be held near Green Bay, Wis., will go on sale Thursday and continue Friday. An allotment of 250 tickets has been set aside for St. Thomas, and fans can call St. Norbert's ticket office from 10 a.m.-4 p.m., Thursday and Friday -- 920-403-3950. Credit cards will be accepted and the tickets will be placed in will-call for game-day pickup. Purchasers should indicate they are Tommie fans.

The Cornerstone Community Center has a seating capacity of approximately 1,900 but the Green Knights' national success often produces sellouts for postseason games. Last Saturday's conference playoff finals vs. UW-Stout was a sellout with 2,010 in attendance.

The sixth-ranked Tommies (20-6-2) have won three postseason games by a combined 15-3 margin. But they'll face the ultimate test against No. 1-ranked St. Norbert (24-1-4), which is 22-0-4 since an early-season loss to Gustavus. UST lost at St. Norbert 4-3 in overtime eight weeks ago but beat the Green Knights 3-2 in the 2005 NCAA quarterfinals at the Cornerstone facility.
