The first 500 paying customers in attendance for the Niagara men's hockey team season home opener will receive a commemorative 2011-12 game day t-shirt.  The puck is set to drop on Friday, Oct. 21 at 7 p.m., when the Purple Eagles face-off against Union.  Union is currently ranked No. 12 in the nation according to the most recent USCHO.com Poll. 

This one-of-a-kind t-shirt will not be available for purchase in the future.  As an added bonus, show your support for your Purple Eagles by wearing the t-shirt to any of the home games throughout the season and purchase a ticket for $5.  Niagara plays 15 games at Dwyer Arena during the team’s season, including home dates against Colgate, Canisius, Air Force, and RIT.  

Tickets are on sale now, and can be purchased by calling the Niagara ticket office at 716-286-TIXX (8499) or by emailing the office at Tickets@PurpleEagles.com.
