Gameday Promotions
Augustana hockey will have a handful of promotions on home ice during its opening weekend. Friday's game will include an LED bracelet giveaway and the national anthem will be performed by Dr. Brian Hangan on the saxophone.

Saturday's game will be youth hockey night and Augustana invites people to skate with the Vikings post-game (equipment not provided, helmets required). Dr. Russel Svenningsen will perform the national anthem.
