You won't want to miss DU's signature Homecoming event—HocktoberFEST! Before our 10x National Champs hit the ice, join us inside DU’s Gates Field House and the surrounding outdoor area for a free, family-friendly festival you won’t want to miss!

Here’s what we’re planning:

Family Fun: Bounce houses, yard games and activities galore—the perfect way to let the kids run wild in a safe, enclosed environment.
Beer Garden: Featuring alumni-owned brews, wines, and spirits—a perfect place to connect with new and old friends.
Music & Giveaways: Get into the spirit with tunes and DU swag that will show off your DU spirit as you cheer on our Pios against Northeastern.
Veterans Thank You Project: Join us in assembling swag bags and writing thank you cards for DU veterans, service members, and military families. It’s a great way to give back and connect with our community.

Plan ahead! Food and drinks will be available for purchase. Purchase now for a discount by adding food and drink tickets to your registration! Limited food will be for sale on-site. Drink ticket prices will go up on the day of. Be sure to plan ahead!

Before Saturday’s hockey game, there will be a special Championship banner-raising ceremony not open to the public. Don’t have hockey tickets yet?

Let’s celebrate the start of hockey season together—all are welcome! We look forward to welcoming our DU community to campus.
