UW, OSU TEAMS, BARRY ALVAREZ, DENNIS HULL TO HEADLINE EVENING

Anticipation is building for the Frozen Tundra Hockey Classic, Feb. 11 at Lambeau Field, featuring the No. 1-ranked Wisconsin Badgers vs. the Ohio State Buckeyes.

Details for one of the weekend's events, the team dinner Feb. 10, have been finalized. The memorable evening will feature the teams, their coaches, UW Athletics Director Barry Alvarez and keynote speaker Dennis Hull. Festivities begin at 6 p.m. with a reception. Dinner follows at 7 p.m.

Hull, a 13-year NHL veteran, six-time all-star and member of one of hockey's premier families (brother Bobby and nephew Brett), will highlight the evening with his popular self-effacing tales of his years in hockey. Alvarez, UW Coach Mike Eaves and OSU Coach John Markell also will address the attendees.

In addition, members of both teams will participate in a "meet-and-greet" session prior to the dinner to sign autographs and take pictures.

A limited number of tickets are available. They are priced at $100, or $1,000 for a table of 10. For more information on purchasing tickets, please contact Karen Monfre (920/662-0016) or Steve Pipp (920/433-3233).

A portion of the proceeds will benefit the UW Alumni Club of Brown County Scholarship Fund.
