Great Neck Park District’s Bears Hockey Team will be making their first trip of the season, to Nassau Coliseum to watch the New York Islanders skate against the Pittsburgh Penguins on Saturday, Nov. 22.
The Bears have been invited back to participate in a between period shootout in front of the thousands of fans in attendance that night.
The teammates are hoping they are permitted to watch the warm-ups from the penalty box, like they did last year. It was so exciting for them all to high-five the Islanders as they came out of their locker room.
Both the kids and their parents are anticipating what has become an exhilarating evening.
The Bears Hockey Team officially began their Friday night intramural games at the Andrew Stergiopoulos Ice Rink. The 5 to 8 year olds play from 5:45-6:45 p.m. and the older players, ages 9+, from 6:45 to 7:45 p.m.
Feel free to come down to be a spectator and cheer them on! Everyone is welcome to watch these youngsters begin their hockey careers!
Registration to join the Bears is still open for those interested. We have many new players this year so you won’t feel like the new kid on the block! Please call Hockey Director Dan Marsella at (516) 487-2976, ext. 128, for more information.
