Spartans, Past and Present, Come Together for Annual Ice Hockey Alumni Game

Monsey, N.Y. - 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 2024-25 squad and some of those who donned the maroon and gold for STAC from 2010 through 2023 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, 8-7.

STAC returns to regular season action, opening its 2024-2025 home campaign at Sport-O-Rama on Sunday, September 29, as the Spartans host Rowan University. Puck drop is scheduled for 3:30pm.
