Memories of Hedgcock Fieldhouse will be shared during an informal roundtable discussion hosted by Craig Remsburg and Tom Peters at the Beaumier Upper Peninsula Heritage Center at Northern Michigan University. The event begins at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 6, in 105 Cohodas Hall. It is free and open to the public.


This program features an informal roundtable discussion amongst local sports
writers, athletes, and coaches about the memories of the legendary Hedgcock
Fieldhouse on the campus of NMU. Hedgcock, named after Northern's former
head of physical education C.B. Hedgcock, was the site of hundreds of
competitions including men's and women's basketball, volleyball, tennis,
wrestling and even track. Notably, it was the site of the high school
regional basketball tournament, which gave the venue some of its most
memorable events. Join in the discussion and hear some great yarns spun
about one of the U.P.'s most revered sports venues.
This program is in conjunction with the Beaumier Center's current exhibit,
"U.P. Power: High School Sports in Upper Michigan."
