On Sunday October 7th please join us in kicking off the 2018-2019 ice season at the Memorial Sports Center with the 2nd annual Heat It Up Tournament. This fun day of cross ice “indoor pond hockey” benefits the 2nd Floor Expansion Project that will finish the final phase of renovations to MSC. We are getting close and together we can all make this longtime dream a reality and make our home rink something we can be even more proud of than we already are today! This fun day of hockey for a great cause will consist of 45-minute game blocks, starting at 9 am and continuing throughout the day, with 5 person teams playing 3 v 3 cross ice and scoring on wooden slot goals. It is an exciting and fast paced style of play and a great way to meet up with hockey friends and start the season off with some fun!
