ROADRUNNERS ALUMNI GAME SET FOR SATURDAY IN TOPEKA

This Saturday night at Landon Arena the Topeka RoadRunners celebrate their history and the beginning of the 2012-2013 season with the Alumni Game. When Don and Barbara Stone purchased the franchise in 2009, they created the Alumni Game to serve as a homecoming for former players and as a key component of the RoadRunners season-launching FanFest Weekend. In the inaugural contest, a wily bunch of Alumni shocked the new RoadRunners with a 1-0 win. In 2010, in a more wide open affair, the RoadRunners overcame the Alumni by a score of 7-5. After a year hiatus, the Alumni Game is back with a brand new format that will pit two teams of former RoadRunners against each other. The Alumni game is a unique opportunity for fans to honor the stars of the past who have gone on to college, pro hockey, coaching or other careers.
