MADISON, Wis. – On Saturday, Feb. 9, before the Wisconsin men's hockey team takes on third-ranked Ohio State at the Kohl Center, UW will honor hockey legend Mark Johnson by raising his No. 10 jersey to the rafters. He is the first Badger men's hockey player to have that prestigious honor.

Fans are encouraged to be in their Kohl Center seats by 6:30 p.m. that evening to take in the pre-game festivities.

The entire night will be a celebration of Johnson's remarkable hockey career, including his record-breaking time as a Badger, his Miracle on Ice heroics for Team USA, his all-star NHL career and his extraordinary current stint as the head coach of the Wisconsin women's hockey team.

The ceremony will feature the men's and women's teams, special guests and will culminate with the No. 10 rising to the rafters, where it will have a permanent home.

All fans in attendance will receive a commemorative Mark Johnson rally towel, while commemorative pins will be available through Bucky's Locker Room. The Wisconsin men's hockey flipcard will also feature Johnson on the cover.

In addition, a special display case will be set up near Gate B that will feature memorabilia from throughout Johnson's career.

The Wisconsin men's and women's teams will wear Mark Johnson jerseys during warmups on Saturday, Feb. 9 at the men's game and on Sunday, Feb. 10 at the women's game. The jerseys will be auctioned online at FanaticsAuctions.com/MarkJohnson to benefit local cancer research and treatment through the UW Carbone Cancer Center. The commemorative jersey auctions will begin Tuesday, Feb. 5 at 9:00 a.m. and conclude Monday, Feb. 11 from 5:30 p.m. to 8:20 p.m.

Mark Johnson Night follows one day after the Badgers hold their second annual Face-off Against Cancer game. Wisconsin assistant coaching legend Grant Standbrook will be the featured honoree during that Friday, Feb. 8 contest.

Tickets for this special weekend are available at UWBadgers.com. Both games, against Ohio State, begin at 7 p.m.
