The Wildcats, a perennial favorite to win the Hockey East and NCAA championships, will be the first college team recognized by the New Hampshire Legends of Hockey. Previously, three senior amateur teams from the state's past have been honored: the Concord Budmen (2004), the Berlin Maroons (2003) and the Manchester Blackhawks (2002).
The newest class of inductees will be honored during a 12:00 p.m. luncheon at the Wayfarer Inn in Bedford, New Hampshire, and then introduced during an on-ice ceremony at the Verizon Wireless Arena prior to the Manchester Monarchs 4:05 p.m. match-up with the Providence Bruins.

As part of the day's festivities, the Monarchs will wear vintage UNH jerseys worn by the Wildcats from 1956-61. Following the game, the vintage jerseys will be auctioned off with proceeds going to The New Hampshire Legends of Hockey, an organization that recognizes the men and women in the state who have made outstanding contributions to the sport of ice hockey through participation, administrative support and community support.
UNH hockey fans are encouraged to attend the Monarchs-Bruins contest and honor the school's long and successful history of ice hockey. March 6 is an open date for the Wildcats, who are scheduled to play their last game of the 2004-05 regular season when they host Boston University at the Whittemore Center on March 5, 2005.
