Is your player ready to skate during the pre-game warm-up and stand on the ice for the National Anthem at a Colorado Eagles game?

Here are the details for this exciting NCYH tradition!

Each U8 group will receive an email from the NCYH Office with their assigned game date, event details, and sign-up link.
Teams have been pre-assigned by NCYH — these dates will not be changed.

Includes 2 complimentary tickets — one for the U8 player and one for an accompanying parent (players need their own ticket).
Additional tickets: $27 each.

6:15 PM – Arrive at Blue Arena fully dressed (except skates, helmet, gloves). Check in with a Colorado Eagles representative and proceed to the lower lobby.
6:30 PM – Players are escorted to the Zamboni entrance. One parent per player may assist with final gear setup.

≈7:00 PM – Players skate a lap with the Flight Crew, form the player tunnel, and line up on the blue line for the National Anthem.
≈7:10 PM – After the anthem, parents return to assist with gear removal. Players and parents will be escorted back to the front lobby where gear can be stored during the game.
