The St. Thomas Aquinas College Ice Hockey team welcomed back players from the program's past with their annual Alumni Game at Sport-O-Rama on Friday evening.
Spartan Hockey athletes representing the current 2021-22 squad and some of those who donned the maroon and gold for STAC from 2003 through 2021 hit the ice for a little friendly competition and bragging rights. Fans, parents, family and college staff members joined the teams in celebrating the program's history.
In the end, the current Spartans bested their friends from Alumni squad, 9-8.
Now that the exhibition schedule has wrapped up, St. Thomas Aquinas College will open their 2021-2022 Regular Season at Sport-O-Rama on Friday, October 8th, as the Spartans host Sacred Heart University. Puck drop is scheduled for 8:30pm.
