The ceremony for Robone starts at 7 p.m. and will include a moment of silence for the 58 people killed when a gunman opened fire on concertgoers from his room at Mandalay Bay.
The team also will be accepting donations to the GoFundMe account set up to assist the Robone family with medical costs.
The Rebels host Utah at 7:30 p.m. in an American Collegiate Hockey Association game.
