Hey, Lakers fans! Guess what’s coming up to sprinkle some holiday magic on your December calendar? The much-awaited “Holiday Skate with the Lakers” fundraiser is back and ready to turn the ice rink into a winter wonderland on Sunday, Dec. 10, from 1 to 3 p.m. Gather your buddies and head to the Deborah F. Stanley Arena and Convocation Center in Marano Campus Center for an afternoon filled with icy fun.
Skate, Chill, and Give Back:
Lakers Style!
Now, let’s dive into the cool details. This family-friendly event isn’t just about showing off your smooth skating moves. It’s also a chance to support a great cause – all proceeds are going to the United Way of Greater Oswego County. So, lace up those skates and get ready to hit the ice with a purpose.
Admission is a steal at $3 per person, and for an extra $3, you can snag a pair of skates if you don’t have your own. Now, here’s the scoop that’s got everyone buzzing – you’ll be gliding alongside the Laker men’s and women’s hockey teams! Imagine the thrill of sharing the ice with your favorite players. It’s not every day you get to show off your skills and mingle with the pros.
Mark Digby, the head coach of the Oswego State women’s hockey team and the mastermind behind this festive fiesta, spilled the beans on why this event is so special. “Our student-athletes love giving back to the fans, and especially children, so this event is always something they look forward to,” he said. “I really think our players enjoy it as much as the kids from the community, and it supports a great cause. It’s a win all around.”
Now, doesn’t that make you even more excited to clear your schedule for a couple of hours of winter sports and holiday cheer? It’s not just about skating; it’s about creating memories and spreading joy. Plus, you’ll be contributing to a cause that makes a real difference in the community.
Jerseys, Santa, and More:
What to Expect
But wait, there’s more! The excitement doesn’t end with skating. Picture this: you could be the lucky winner of a legit Laker hockey jersey. How’s that for a cool addition to your sports memorabilia collection? And if that’s not enough to get you in the festive spirit, rumor has it that Santa Claus himself will be making a guest appearance. So, whether you’ve been naughty or nice, you might just get the chance to tell the big man in red your holiday wishes.
This isn’t your average Sunday skate. It’s a chance to connect with the Lakers on a whole new level, share some laughs, and make memories that’ll last long after the ice has melted. So, mark your calendar, round up your crew, and join in the fun on December 10th. It’s not just about the Lakers; it’s about community, giving back, and celebrating the season in the coolest way possible – on the ice with your favorite hockey stars.
In the end, it’s not just a fundraiser; it’s a holiday tradition that brings people together, all while supporting a cause that makes a real impact. So, get ready to don your coziest sweater, lace up those skates, and glide into the holidays with the Lakers. It’s going to be a day filled with chilly thrills, warm hearts, and the unmistakable joy of giving back. See you on the ice, Lakers fans!
