White Out the Whitt Once Again Draws Energetic Sellout Crowd

Fans once again filled the Whittemore Center at Key Auto Group Complex for the annual White Out the Whitt showdown with rival Maine on Friday, Nov. 22, as a sellout crowd was on hand for the early-season Border Battle.

The arena was filled to capacity for the third installment of White Out the Whitt since a combination of COVID and Hockey East conference scheduling changes conspired to cancel the event for a couple of seasons. But the tradition that began in 1999 has returned with a roar, although the energetic crowd this year watched Maine skate away with a 3-1 victory. The Wildcats will look to exact some revenge when they head to Maine for a weekend doubleheader Feb. 14 and 15. Check out our fully gallery of photos above highlighting the many ways the UNH faithful showed off their Wildcat spirit.
