The St. Thomas Aquinas College Club Hockey team welcomed back players from the program's past with their annual Alumni Game at Sport-O-Rama on Friday night.
Spartan Hockey athletes representing the current 2019-20 squad and some of those who donned the maroon and gold for STAC from 2004 through 2019 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, 8-5.
Now that the exhibition schedule has wrapped up, St. Thomas Aquinas College will open their 2019-2020 Regular Season at Sport-O-Rama on Friday, October 4th, as the Spartans host Columbia University. Puck drop is scheduled for 8:30pm.
