Tickets
MADISON, Wis. – As part of 'Throwback Weekend' at the Kohl Center, the Wisconsin men's hockey program will take its game on Friday, Dec. 2 against Michigan and honor the contributions of the Suter family to Badger hockey and hockey in the Madison community.
Dating back to high school and amateur hockey in the 1950s, continuing through the arrival of Bob Johnson and beyond, the Suter family has left a lasting impression on state, Madison and Wisconsin hockey.
From patriarch Marlowe Suter's time manning the Dane County Coliseum penalty box and handing out Milk Duds to penalized Badgers, three generations of Suters have left their mark at Wisconsin.
It continued when Marlowe's sons John and Bob Suter helped the Badgers capture the 1977 NCAA Championship and Bob won gold as part of the Miracle on Ice at the 1980 Olympic Winter Games.
A third son, Gary, skated for the Badgers in the mid-1980s and went on to Olympic, international and NHL acclaim.
Both Bob and Gary are members of the U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame and Wisconsin Athletic Hall of Fame.
A third generation joined the legacy when Bob's son Ryan became a Badger in the early 2000s and has since carried on the Olympic, international and NHL family tradition.
It isn't just Badger hockey, but Madison-area hockey where the Suter family has impacted the game. From the Madison Cardinals, Suter's Gold Medal Sports, the Madison Capitols youth hockey programs, Sun Prairie hockey and Bob Suter's Capitol Ice Arena, among others, the family's impact carries forward.
During the evening, Wisconsin men's hockey will wear Suter helmet stickers, while special pucks will be used for the game. A ceremonial puck drop featuring the core Suter family members in attendance will also be a part of the evening.
As part of the weekend's throwback theme, banners like those at the Dane County Coliseum will be hung from the third level.
