Former Gophers hockey player Danny Woog is organizing an alumni hockey game on Sept. 27 in New Prague.

He hopes to sign up about 17 players at least. Among those he expects to be there are Brian Bonin, Mike Crowley, Scott Bell and Steve DeBus.

Woog, the son of former Gophers coach Doug Woog, said the alumni will skate with local kids from 3:30 to 5 p.m. before the game.

“A lot of them probably won’t know us,” he said, “but maybe a few will.”

It’s a coincidence, but a New Prague teen-ager recently committed to the ‘U.’ Forward Seth Ambroz, who would have been a sophomore this season for the Trojans, told Gophers coaches he wants to wear the maroon and gold.

Ambroz, 15, will play for Omaha of the USHL this season.

When the roster for the alumni game is finalized, it will appear here along with other details about the event.
