Great Lake State Weekend

Detailed Schedule of Events

Friday October 14, 2011

Whenever you arrive, stop by the lobby of Cisler Center to pick up your information packet at the Registration Desk.
We’ll be there 10am to 6:30pm Friday and 8am to 5pm Saturday to check people in, register last-minute guests and answer
any questions you may have.

If you arrive in the Soo early in the day on Friday, join the Soo Blueliners for lunch
at the Cisler Center, where coaches from both MSU and LSSU hockey teams will be featured speakers. No reservations needed,
just show up!

Starting at 5 pm, head over to Lukenda Alumni House for the Alumni Tailgate party. Members of the LSSU Alumni Board will be cooking chili, grilling hot dogs and pulling together other homemade grub for Laker alumni and their families.

Now is your chance to Meet LSSU President Tony McLain. He will be at our Tailgate party. Stop by, say hello, give him some feedback of what you think is good, bad or crazy about Lake State today. He will listen.

This is also an opportunity to Meet the Pepband. The members will be wearing their new polo shirts sponsored by your LSSU Alumni Association.

This is a great place to gather pre-game to get pumped up for the 7:05pm hockey game vs. MSU’s Spartans. Soft drinks are provided and adults can BYOB. Special guests at the Tailgate will be Alumni Award recipients and LSSU faculty, past & present.

Head over to the game a bit early, because the first 250 fans will receive free tattoos and Laker thundersticks at the Laker Hockey
Kickoff, distributed by the students of SAILS starting at 6:00pm.

Reserve your tickets now for the first of the two-game hockey series against Michigan State University! You can reserve your tickets as part of your GLSW registration; call the ticket office directly at 906-635-2602;
or reserve online through the ticket office.

If you reserve your tickets with the Norris Ticket office, tell them that you're an alum to get seated in special alumni seating in section N!

The puck drops at 7:05pm to open the CCHA season.

Don’t run off after the game - free ice cream will be served in the Taffy Abel Arena post-game, sponsored by Student Alumni Involved for Lake State (SAILS).
