Illness Causes Cancellation of Minnesota State vs. Princeton Men’s Hockey Game Saturday Mankato, Minn. --- Kevin Buisman, Minnesota State Director of Athletics, has announced that the men’s hockey game for Minnesota State vs. Princeton, scheduled for Saturday evening in Mankato, has been cancelled. “Several members of our men’s hockey team have come down with the flu and we do not have enough healthy student-athletes to field a team tonight,” said Buisman. “After consulting with several stakeholders, including the NCAA, Verizon Wireless Center and the Western Collegiate Hockey Association, and discussing our options, it was decided to cancel the game. There were several complicating factors in the decision which involved facility scheduling, individual and team travel and the fact that there is no guarantee that we would have enough bodies to play tomorrow. We know that our fan base and those that follow us would have wanted to see the third-rated Mavericks play tonight and hope everyone can understand this difficult situation and the issues we faced in coming to this decision.” Buisman said that the game would be declared a “no contest” and that plans for ticket reimbursement will be announced at a later date. Next action for Minnesota State is Jan. 2-3 with a league road series at Northern Michigan on the docket.
