They call it the "Big Ice Challenge" and it is associated with Moose games. We have done quite a few over the years. They are either 5pm before a 7pm Moose game or 1 hour after a Moose afternoon game. You sell tickets to your hockey team families ($20) for the accompanying Moose game and get to watch your child play prior/after. The kids and coaches get in for free, and the kids all get a drink, slice of pizza and Moose Antlers for taking part. They parents are only allowed in 2 sections of the arena.
