BEMIDJI — The countdown to another season of Bemidji State hockey has officially begun. On July 21, Beaver fans will have their chance to lock in their season tickets.

Packages start at $225, giving fans first access to the best seats in the Sanford Center as the Beavers prepare to chase another Central Collegiate Hockey Association championship. All season ticket packages include admission to all BSU women's hockey games as the Beavers compete in the highly competitive Western Collegiate Hockey Association and priority opportunities to purchase playoff tickets.

This value will save the fans dollars per ticket per game over single-game prices. All season ticket sales go to BSU Athletics, but are not tax-deductible, per federal regulations.

"CCHA hockey is as tough and competitive as it gets, and this season will be no exception," BSU head coach Tom Serratore said in a release. "Every night at the Sanford Center is going to be a battle, and our fans play a huge role in that. We need the place rocking; our team feeds off that energy. If you love hard-nosed, high-level hockey, you won’t want to miss a single game this year."

To become a season ticket holder or renew, contact Adam Kadrlik at the Sanford Center Box Office at 218-441-4031 or visit:

VIP Parking passes for the Sanford Center preferred VIP parking lot will once again be available for purchase and are not included in any purchase of lower bowl tickets. Parking passes can be purchased for an additional $400 per pass, and those interested should contact Jesse Katz, the director of athletic giving, at 218-755-2827 or Jesse.Katz@bemidjistate.edu.

The purchase of a club-level season ticket will include one parking pass. A portion of parking pass proceeds is considered a donation to the BSU Athletics Fund, and are tax-deductible.

Due to ongoing storm damage recovery, the Sanford Center Administration Office and Ticket Office are closed. In-person renewals will be available by appointment only until further notice. Contact Adam Kadrlik by email or phone to schedule a renewal appointment.

Season ticket holders get access to all 14 CCHA regular-season home games, plus four marquee matchups against regional powerhouses St. Cloud State, North Dakota and Minnesota Duluth, along with an exhibition game against Minnesota.

The 70th season of Beaver Hockey begins October 3-4 in Anchorage, Alaska, followed by the home opener on Oct. 10 against St. Cloud State.
