Get ready, Fond du Lac! The Wisconsin Windigo are set to clash with the Minnesota Mallards on August 28, but this isn’t just another exhibition game. This 6 p.m. puck drop at the Blue Line Family Ice Center is all about pumping some serious cash into the Fond du Lac Youth Hockey Association, directly supporting local youth hockey programs.
Every Dollar Counts: How This Game Will Fuel Local Dreams
This fundraiser is going all out, and you gotta respect the hustle! The North American Hockey League team is dedicating some big-time percentages to the association. We’re talking $3 from every single ticket sold. Think about that, every fan walking through the door directly helps a young player. Then there’s 100% of Chuck-a-Puck sales between the second and third periods, which is insane. Plus, they’re tossing in 75% of 50/50 raffle proceeds and a solid 50% of silent auction proceeds. The silent auction itself sounds wild, with custom co-branded Windigo and Fond du Lac Thunder youth hockey jerseys, official Windigo merchandise, signed sticks, and other cool memorabilia up for grabs.
More Than Just Money: Kids Hitting the Ice and the Airwaves
This event isn’t just about the cash, it’s about making memories for the next generation of hockey stars. They’re bringing the youth players right into the action! Six Fond du Lac Youth Hockey players are going to get the full starting lineup experience. How cool is that? Even better, three youth players will announce the starting lineup after warmups, straight from the dressing room. And if that’s not enough, a local U6 or U8 team is scheduled to play a six-minute mini-game right after the first period. Talk about a full-on hockey festival!
This is shaping up to be more than just a game, it’s a massive community hockey celebration. Make sure to mark your calendars for August 28 at 6 p.m. at the Blue Line Family Ice Center. It’s a chance to see some great hockey and, more importantly, invest directly in the next generation of puck-slingers in Fond du Lac. You won’t want to miss seeing those young players get their moment in the spotlight!
