NIHA and the Lou and Gib Reese Ice Arena are once again participating in Hockey Weekend Across America on Feb. 17-19th. This weekend is a nationwide event coordinated by USA Hockey to promote the game of hockey, and to encourage everyone to get out and experience a game, whether on the ice or in the stands.
A number of events will be happening during the weekend, including:
Friday (or Thursday): Wear Your Favorite Hockey Jersey Day
Take the opportunity to wear your favorite hockey jersey to school or work. If your school or work is closed on Friday, wear your jersey on Thursday!
Saturday: Try Hockey Day
NIHA and the arena are offering a Free Learn to Play Hockey Clinic for all area youth from 10:30-11:20am. Plan on arriving at least 45 minutes early to get registered and outfitted!
Sunday: Celebrate Local Hockey Heroes Day
If you know someone who has been a positive influence in your hockey career, reach out and thank them!
Additionally, the arena is hosting the
Route 70 - 71 College Hockey Tournament. Stop by to cheer for our local Denison team as they take on teams from Wheeling Jesuit, Xavier, Wittenberg, Louisville, and Northern Kentucky. The cost is $5 for adults and $3 for students. For game times, please visit the
arena's website.
