AEROS HELP CELEBRATE HOCKEY WEEKEND ACROSS AMERICA

HOUSTON, Texas – Hockey Weekend Across America will be held February 13th-15th across the nation. The event is a tribute to the game of hockey and will be celebrated with special themes for each day. Friday the theme is “wear your jersey,” Saturday it’s “bring a friend to the rink,” and Sunday is “celebrate local hockey heroes.” The weekend is sponsored by USA Hockey Inc and Reebok.

The Houston Aeros will be showing their support for Hockey Weekend Across America by offering discounted tickets to USA Hockey members on Sunday, February 15 when the Aeros take on the Chicago Wolves at 5:05 p.m. Corner seats, normally $23, will go for $15 and upper end zones will be $10. Discounted tickets for USA Hockey members are available through Josh Young of the Aeros front office and can be reached at (713) 361-7937.

During the second intermission at the Aeros game, fans will have the opportunity to watch a sled hockey game, sponsored by STARskaters.org. Star Skaters is a non-profit organization that provides recreation to children and young adults who struggle with any type of physical or developmental disability.

As a special
addition to Hockey Weekend Across America, the Aeros will be honoring a local Houston hockey hero who will be in attendance. Don’t forget to be at Toyota Center at noon if you want to watch the Hounds versus the Flyers in an ISHL game or stay after the Aeros contest to watch Austin play Memorial and Clearlake against Klein in two ISHL games. Visit www.HockeyWeekendAcrossAmerica.com for more ways to celebrate hockey this weekend.
