UPDATE: On behalf of the Blues Alumni, we apologize to the fans of Kansas City for the postponement of our game with Mizzou. Due to preparations for the NHL season, we have many key Alumni members that are now unable to participate. We want to ensure we have a full roster of players that will provide an extraordinary night of entertainment. The Alumni are looking forward to bringing everyone an evening of hockey to remember later this year!

The Blues Alumni will face off with the Mizzou Hockey team in an exhibition game in Independence, MO on Friday, Jan. 18 at 7:05 p.m.

The "MO Hockey Showdown" is presented by Silverstein Eye Centers and will be held at the Independence Events Center.

Scheduled Blues Alumni players include Bruce Affleck, Jon Casey, Darren Pang, Larry Patey, Bob Plager, Jamie Rivers, Tom Tilley, Tony Twist, John Wensink and Terry Yake. Additional players and coaching staff will be released in the upcoming weeks.

"The St. Louis Blues Alumni always love a good dose of competition, and this game will prove to be very entertaining.” said Terry Yake, the Director of Bles Alumni Relations. “We have a great bunch of Alumni coming, and we look forward to meeting the great hockey fans of Kansas City."

“We are very happy to be part of this event.” reiterated Mizzou Hockey Head Coach John Lamond. “Our guys are excited to step on the ice against this group of Blues greats. We anticipate a fun-filled night for both the players and the fans."
