UMass Lowell Tsongas Center Fan Cutouts

Show your River Hawk pride and be at the Tsongas Center for every UMass Lowell home hockey game this season!

These are challenging times but we are continuing our progression toward “normal.” Our River Hawks are on the ice preparing for a 2020-21 hockey season, while we await the announcement as to when the season will get started from Hockey East, we are preparing the Tsongas Center for a home ice advantage. This season, the River Hawk Athletic Department is offering fans an opportunity to be at the Tsongas, even if they can’t physically be at the game. You can get a cutout of yourself, a friend, a family member or even a favorite pet placed in an open seat for River Hawk Hockey. The earlier you sign-up, the closer to the ice your cutout will be. Proceeds from the cutouts will directly support the River Hawk Hockey Program and student-athletes.


Our hope is that we will be allowed to have a limited, socially-distanced crowd in attendance at the Tsongas Center, but that would still limit the opportunity for you to attend and show your River Hawk Pride. As such, we want to ensure those seats are filled and you can show your support of the River Hawks this season with the implementation of our Tsongas Center Cutout campaign. In addition to showing your support at each game, you’ll have the ability to “take yourself home” following the season. We’ll have additional perks as well with more information to follow.
