MIDDLEBURY — On Dec. 5 and 6 the Middlebury College men’s hockey team will be helping the organization Helping Overcome Poverty’s Effects (HOPE). Admission to these two hockey games will be free, but hockey team supporters are hoping that all in attendance will bring a children’s game, canned fruits or canned vegetables and contribute a voluntary $5 admission. This will help make Christmas a little brighter for those in need.
On Friday the Panthers will host Amherst College in a game beginning at 7 p.m. and on Saturday they will host Hamilton College at 4 p.m. During this weekend, New England Hockey Journal will be filming a story about the hockey program at Middlebury College.
Following the Saturday game against Hamilton, the men’s hockey team will host the annual “Skate with the Panthers.” All fans, young and old, will be invited on the ice at Kenyon Arena to skate with the team an will be provided team pictures to get signed by players. It’s a great time for all
