GARNET BLADES
Dear Garnet Blades Members and Friends, Welcome to another exciting year of Union Hockey - here we go again - we thank you always for your tireless support! Over fifteen years ago we started the Garnet Blades around our first-ever annual golf tournament – it was a huge success and one which continues today. This past year’s golf event was our biggest and best yet thanks to the hard work of so many people. It’s an event that continues to support our program and keep us together. I bring up the golf event because it’s a very special day. The best part for me is seeing the alumni hockey players reunite after time away from each other living their post-Union lives. The excitement they share being with each other again is powerful and speaks to their Union days on the ice and off the ice. The joy of the shared Union Hockey and Union College experience is on full display as a reminder of why we all find Union Hockey and Union College so unique. It bonds them and it bonds us. If you haven’t been to our golf event, please come see for yourself – you won’t be disappointed. Like our annual golf event, every season has its own freshness and personality. It’s not just another year – it’s always a new year with renewed purpose and vigor. Here’s to our 2016-17 season and may it be enjoyed for its own accomplishments and memorable moments. Luckily for us, it always has been and always will be something to cherish. Go Union!

he Garnet Blades are the foundation of the Union College Hockey program. Their continued support of past, present and future Dutchmen hockey players has propelled Union Hockey into one of the top programs in the country. As a proud Union Hockey alumni, I am forever grateful for the Garnet Blades. Thank you for the unwavering support and generosity." Nolan Julseth-White Union College Men’s Ice Hockey - Class of 2012
