OMAHA, Neb. -- Tickets for North Dakota's outdoor Western Collegiate Hockey Association (WHCA) game at Nebraska Omaha will go on sale Monday, Oct. 1, beginning at 10 a.m.
The Mutual of Omaha Battles on Ice will be held Saturday, February 9, 2013 at TD Ameritrade Park Omaha. The outdoor doubleheader will feature the USHL's Omaha Lancers playing the Lincoln Stars at 12:30 p.m., followed by the UND-UNO game at 4:07 p.m.
Tickets will be sold through Ticketmaster.com and CenturyLink Omaha box office. The games are being presented by the Omaha Sports Commission, working with the University of Nebraska at Omaha and Omaha Lancers hockey programs. Mutual of Omaha is the title sponsor of the event. Omaha Lancer and UNO Maverick season ticket holders were given an opportunity to purchase tickets late last week and officials say the initial response has been tremendous.
"Since announcing the Mutual of Omaha Battles on Ice last February, we have been asked numerous times when tickets would be on available and we are pleased to announce public sales start today," Omaha Sports Commission President Harold Cliff said. "The Omaha Sports Commission is proud to host this event and we want to thank Mutual of Omaha for serving as title sponsor of this unique sports competition."
"UNO hockey fans could not be more excited for this game, and we have heard from hundreds of North Dakota hockey fans who intend to travel to Omaha and see these incredible games," UNO's Director of Athletics Trev Alberts said. "Mutual of Omaha's Battles on Ice will showcase all that UNO hockey has going for it and provide excellent national exposure to our program."
"This will be an historic season for the Omaha Lancers, as we start in our new home at the Ralston Arena and then play in this great event at TD Ameritrade Park Omaha," Omaha Lancers President and Managing Partner Ben Robert said. "The Mutual of Omaha Battles on Ice is generating great excitement among our fans, and we know a number of Lincoln Stars fans will travel I-80 to see this great double-header."
"Mutual of Omaha is proud to sponsor Battles on Ice and we are hoping for a packed stadium of hockey fans," Mutual of Omaha Senior Vice President John Hildenbiddle said.
"The Omaha Sports Commission is to be commended for helping bring everyone together and creating another memorable sports event for our community."
