ADRIAN, Mich. – The community is invited to meet Bruiser, Adrian College’s new live mascot, at the men’s varsity hockey game on Friday, Jan. 22.

There are many reasons to come out that evening as it is a historical night. This is the first time in the long-storied history of the College to have a live mascot. The hockey team also faces stiff competition from Lawrence University.

The main attraction of the evening will be a pre-game ceremony which is scheduled to begin at approximately 7:45 P.M. Bruiser will make his first public appearance at that time appearing at center ice to do a ceremonial puck drop. In addition, a special presentation will be made signifying the beginning of Bruiser’s reign at Adrian College.

Throughout the evening there will be many dog themed giveaways, contests and prizes. Some of the things taking place include: temporary tattoos, opportunities to meet Bruiser nose-to-nose, specials at the concession stand and unique intermission contests. Be sure to bring your cameras to capture all the evening has to offer.

The opening faceoff is set to begin at 8 P.M. For tickets, please contact Kate Hamilton at 517-265-5161 ext. 5011. Tickets are $10 for reserved seating and $5 for standing room.
