“CALL TO HUSKIE HOCKEY ALUMNI: YOUR BOOK IS NOW READY!”
On Wednesday evening 29 November at 7:00 p.m. at beily’s pub and grill (2404 Eighth Street East) there will be a wine and cheese gathering to celebrate the official launch of DOGS ON ICE: A HISTORY OF HOCKEY AT UNIVERSITY OF SASKATCHEWAN. The business attire gathering will enable the media, current players, former players, and fans to celebrate the publication of this volume which captures 97 years of Huskie Hockey in 275 pages with over 70 photographs. The book has
been made possible thanks to Saskatchewan Sports Hall of Fame and Museum’s Sports History Project and “Friends of the Huskies.”
All former players are welcome to attend free of charge. Just phone or e-mail Shannon Seymour (6:00-9:00 p.m. at 306-374-9061; seym.s@sasktel.net) before 26 November to reserve a place.
The evening will feature introductions by Rutherford Rink announcer par excellence Bruce Gordon, a brief presentation by the book’s author/editor P. J. Kennedy, and a story or two from project co-ordinator Bill Seymour. The evening will conclude with sale of books and autographing by Kennedy and Seymour.
A second event to be held on Saturday 2 December will feature Kennedy and Seymour
selling and autographing books at the women’s hockey game (2:00 p.m.) and men’s game
(7:00 p.m.) against University of Manitoba at Rutherford Rink.
If you are unable to attend the launch or Rutherford Rink autographing sessions, books should be on sale starting the next day at University of Saskatchewan Book Store, the on-campus shop at Place Riel , and The Huskie Store at Mid-Town Plaza.
The books retail for $ 40.00 (GST included) with 100% of all sales at beily’s and Rutherford Rink going to Huskie Hockey scholarships and the men’s and women’s hockey programmes.
