Each of them took a moment to speak to the crowd, and their words set the tone for an evening that was about far more than hockey.

The intermissions kept the energy high with live entertainment and fan-favourite Minute to Win It games, and the crowd stayed on their feet from start to finish. The Business team claimed another commanding victory, winning 6-2 in a game that made clear their grip on this rivalry is only getting stronger.
Beyond the final score, the night was a reflection of what this community is capable of when it comes together with purpose. The generosity of students, faculty, alumni, and community members continues to drive everything we do.
