Three-time Stanley Cup champion to be recognized ahead of Jan. 14 game vs. Colorado College
ST. CLOUD, Minn. – St. Cloud State Men's Hockey will host An Evening with Matt Cullen on Jan. 14, as the program will retire his No. 9 prior to and honor the three-time Stanley Cup champion during the Huskies game against Colorado College at the Herb Brooks National Hockey Center. A pregame ceremony and jersey retirement will take place, followed by various tributes throughout the night. Doors will open early for fans to attend. A timeline of the night's events is listed below:
The Moorhead, Minn., native spent two seasons with the Huskies, earning WCHA Rookie Team honors in 1995-96 and Second Team honors in 1996-97. He led the team in assists and points (12-29-41 in 1995-96 & 15-30-45 in 1996-97) in both seasons in the red and black, and currently ranks 50th all-time on the Division-I all-time scoring list with 86 points (27-59-86). His career point total (86) is the most among any Husky who played two seasons. His sophomore campaign (1996-97) still ranks as one of the tops all-time in SCSU history, as his marks of five game-winning goals, three shorthanded goals and 30 assists rank fourth, fifth and ninth, respectively on the all-time single season record list.
Cullen was one of three Huskies to represent the United States at the 2006 Olympics, as he was joined by Hedican and Mark Parrish. At the national level, Cullen was named a six-time National Junior Team or National Team selection (1996, 1998, 1999, 2001, 2003, 2004) and helped the United States capture bronze at the 2004 World Championships.
Cullen is one of 21 players in NHL history to play in over 1,500 games, as his 21-year professional career spanned three decades, eight teams and three Stanley Cup championships. Cullen hoisted the Cup with the Carolina Hurricanes in 2006, and with the Pittsburgh Penguins in 2016 and 2017. In 1,516 career games, Cullen registered 266 goals and 465 assists for 731 points.
Off the ice, Cullen founded the "Cullen's Children's Foundation", also known as "Cully's Kids", in 2003. The foundation provides financial resources to organizations that support children's healthcare needs with an emphasis in cancer. He remains active in his hometown of Moorhead, and recently purchased the Fargo Force of the USHL in 2020.
