WNC Takes Over Tahoe Blue Events Center

Mar 16, 2026

WNC takeover nightWestern Nevada College students, faculty, staff and families filled the stands Friday night at the Tahoe Blue Events Center to cheer on the Tahoe Knight Monsters — and support WNC at the same time.
Thanks to the event, a portion of ticket sales was donated to the WNC Foundation, helping support students and programs across our campuses.
Fans were treated to an exciting matchup as league leader Kansas City edged the Knight Monsters in a thrilling 6–5 game. WNC spirit was strong in the crowd, with President Dr. J. Kyle Dalpe, Chief Advancement Officer and Foundation Executive Director Niki Gladys, Vice President Coral Lopez, student government leaders and Foundation board members all cheering on the home team.
One of the night’s biggest highlights! WNC representatives riding around the ice in the Knight Monsters’ Thermal Technology vehicle between periods, firing up the crowd and showing their Wildcat pride!
A big thank you to everyone who came out for a fun night of hockey while supporting WNC students.
