BROOKVILLE, N.Y. — New York Rangers legend Stéphane Matteau will be attending the Long Island University Athletics Golf Outing on July 15 at Indian Hills Country Club in Northport. LIU will be holding two separate, silent auctions involving the NHL veteran where people can bid on a private dinner with Matteau on July 14, as well as the opportunity to play in his foursome at the outing.
Matteau, who played twelve seasons in the NHL, is best known for his series-ending goal during the 1994 Eastern Conference Finals against the New Jersey Devils. In Game 7, Matteau scored a goal in the second overtime to lift the Rangers to the Stanley Cup Finals, where they would defeat the Vancouver Canucks to win the 1994 Stanley Cup.
Bidding is open for two separate experiences with Matteau around the LIU Athletics golf outing the weekend of July 13.
The first experience is a private dinner with Matteau at a restaurant to-be-designated in the Northport area on the evening of July 14. The winner is allowed to bring two-to-three guests to attend and details surrounding the dinner will be shared as soon as the winners are announced. Cost of the dinner is not included in your bid.
The second experience is playing as part of Matteau's foursome at the LIU Athletics golf outing on July 15. You will be paired with Matteau and two other outing attendees and play a full 18 holes with the Stanley Cup champion at the Indian Hills Country Club. This includes a picture of the foursome as well as an invite to the event's dinner after golf is completed.
Bids are currently being accepted and should be sent to LIUalumni@liu.edu. The highest bid for each event will be recognized as the winning bid, so do not submit one bid for both events total. Clearly identify which experience you are bidding on and share it via email. Bids will start at $1,000 for both experiences, and will only be accepted via email.
Bidding closes on Friday, July 12 at 12 p.m. ET and winners will be announced shortly after bidding has closed. LIU will follow up with each winner to coordinate each experience.
The LIU Athletics golf outing will commence with registration and breakfast at 10:30 a.m., followed by a 12 p.m. shotgun start. After a day of competitive play, participants will gather for dinner and an awards program.
