Skate Update 10/10 HOTEL INFORMATION ADDED

[klemmer]

IHF and I met with the IceHogs and BMO Harris Bank Center yesterday. This IS going to be an event!





New info:

1. I will be inquiring into group rates at a local hotel. For planning purposes, let me know if you're interested in a room. If KC games are any indication, it's not worth risking the DUI.
   
   
   
2. Let me know how many additional ticket you want at $15 each.
   
   
   
3. If you haven't built your web page and started solicting donations, I suggest you do so now.
   
   
   
4. Check your email- I will be sending out emails with sweater details as I want to get them ordered by the end of the week.
   

Be ready to have a great day of hockey and partying....

We have a PRIME area for the auction!



I've asked my contact to look into what it would take to have the Hogs wear Skate sweaters during warmup and auction them off....

 

[IceHogsFan]

Things are definitely looking up for the Dec. 3rd game with some special treats in store for those playing and for those watching. Don't even ask what it is otherwise we will have to kill you.



A few pictures of Bob's private tour of the facility.

bump to include hotel information

 

[MassHavoc]

What time will the ice hogs game be over, and more importantly, when do they cut off booze sales?

 

[klemmer]

Game should be over NLT 10. Not sure when booze is cut it off for the commoners

My advise? Don't risk it. A DUI or worse would be a crappy way to end the day.

I bring my own DD with me, it's why I got married.

Not a bad reason! Still, she might be toasting your ass bustin' routine on the ice....

 

[MassHavoc]

I'm afraid the only thing my ass may be busting is itself, on the ice. I still have to find equipment. I may make an Equipment Donation thread.

What is the proximity of the hotel to the arena? Walking distance?

10 miles or so. Not much close to the arena.
