Geocache Description:

*****This cache is dedicated to the SCSU Hockey team*****

The National Hockey Center (NHC) is a hockey arena located in St. Cloud, Minnesota. It is home to the St. Cloud State University Huskies men's & women's ice hockey teams, and the Saint John's University Johnnies ice hockey team. The main rink is now named for former SCSU President Brendan J. McDonald.

A total of 20 former St. Cloud State hockey players have gone on to play professionally in the NHL. Hockey Hall of Famer Frank Brimsek played for the Huskies in 1933-34 before going on to a sterling professional career with the Boston Bruins and Chicago from 1938-50. He helped the Boston Bruins win two Stanley Cup titles and he is a member of both the international and United State Hockey Hall of Fames.

Other former St. Cloud State players to skate in the NHL include Sam LoPresti, Len Esau, Steve Martinson, Tyler Arnason, Casey Borer, Tim Conboy, Matt Cullen, Jeff Finger, Bret Hedican, Joe Jensen, Fred Knipscheer, Ryan Malone, Joe Motzko, Mark Parrish, Duvie Westcott, Mark Hartigan, Andreas Nodl, Nate Raduns and Andrew Gordon. In recent years, Matt Cullen and Bret Hedican helped the Carolina Hurricanes win the Stanley Cup in 2006, while Mark Hartigan and Joe Motzko won the Stanley Cup in 2007 with the Anaheim Ducks. Hartigan was later a member of the Detroit Red Wings during their Stanley Cup championship season in 2008.

The St. Cloud State men's hockey program made the move to the NCAA Division I level in 1987-88, and it joined the always rugged WCHA in 1990-91. The Huskies play all of their home games in the National Hockey Center (5,371 capacity), which was opened on December 16, 1989. The St. Cloud State women's hockey team began its first season of intercollegiate competition in 1998-99.

The National Hockey Center is often regarded, by visiting teams, as the most difficult place to play in the WCHA. The notorious "Dog Pound" (St. Cloud's Student Section) is one of the most intimidating in all of college hockey.

Go Huskies!!!
