Union College plans Messa Rink final season celebration (10/2024)

Fans are invited to share their favorite memories by tagging the hockey teams on Instagram (@unionmhockey, @unioncollegewhky), on X (@unionmhockey, @unionwhockey), or on Facebook (@unionmhockey, @unionwhockey) and using the hashtag #MessaMemories. Fans can also share their favorite memories by sending photos and videos via Dropbox or by emailing sportsinfo@union.edu.

Union fans will have a chance to vote for the best players to don the garnet and white over the years. The votes (both online and in person at Messa Rink) will help to determine which players will be recognized on the Union Hockey All-Messa Rink Teams, which will be announced later in the season. The team are men’s and women’s Division and men’s Division II/III.

The women's hockey team will recognize the 1999-2000 and 2003-04 teams on Friday, Jan. 24, commemorating the first varsity team and the first Division I team in program history.

The men's team will welcome back the inaugural 1975-76 team, as well as the 1983-84 Division III national runners-up on Saturday, Feb. 1 to be recognized during Union's game against Brown. On Saturday, Feb. 15, Union will be inviting back members of the first Division I team from 1991-92, as well as the 2011-12 Frozen Four team to be recognized during the game against Princeton.

The women's team will be holding their Alumnae Weekend on Feb. 7-8, while the men’s Alumni Weekend will be Feb. 28-March 1.

The hockey programs are moving to Mohawk Harbor Arena next season.
