U. confirms no ticket sales to Gopher Women's Hockey home games, but offers fan cutout sales for Ridder Arena with November 13 deadline
Following last week's schedule release from the WCHA announcing a five-week sprint of games between November 20 and December 19, with each team playing 8 contests, the U. of M. confirmed that there will be no ticket sales for Gopher home games. The decision was made in order to follow Minnesota Department of Health guidelines specifying that indoor venues must reduce occupant capacity to no more than 250 patrons.
That said, Gopher Women's Hockey fans can still show their personal support for the team and be represented at the games against Ohio State (November 21 & 22) and Wisconsin (December 4 & 5). The University has opened up sales of Gopher Fan Cutouts to Ridder Arena. Cutouts can be purchased for $50 for general fans and $25 for U. of M. students. Photos must be submitted by this Friday, November 13, with only one individual per photo. Note also that all fan cutouts will be placed in designated locations at random on a first come, first served basis, and no special requests or seat selections will be accepted.

Remember to save the date! Support GWH on Give to the Max Day – Thursday, November 19
We kindly provide another reminder to our fellow Gopher Women's Hockey fans that the Power Play Club's primary fundraiser supporting the team during the 2020-2021 season will take place on Give to the Max Day on Thursday, November 19.
As shared last week in the video from head coach Brad Frost, a quartet of anonymous donors has already committed $10,000 and will contribute another $10K if the PPC and other donors also raise $10K on Give to the Max Day, bringing the total to $30,000.
Watch for another email later this week with the link to the Give to the Max crowdfunding page and additional details. We will also be sharing that information on our website – www.powerplayclub.org, on Facebook, and on Twitter.
Our thanks to the staff at the Golden Gopher Fund for partnering with the PPC in this effort.
