Chiefs continue Education Day Game

The ECHL’s Johnstown Chiefs will hold their second annual Hockey in Education Day Game with a special 10:35 a.m. start for a Nov. 12 contest against the defending Kelly Cup champion Cincinnati Cyclones.

The Chiefs invite teachers throughout the region to bring their classes to the game for an educational field trip that includes a hockey game. Students receive a workbook that will show them how math, science, physical fitness, history, and even geography play an important role in professional hockey. All tickets for school groups of 15 or more are $6.

The Chiefs held their first morning game last season against South Carolina.

“Last year’s game had schools coming in from as far away as Greensburg and Bedford, as well as the Johnstown area,” Chiefs Director of Ticketing and Sponsorship Eric Wolfgang said. “That shows that a lot of people liked what we had to offer, and they will all be happy to know that we’re coming back this year with an even better Hockey in Education Day Game. The kids, and their teachers, are going to love it.”

Information: 539-1799, extension 226.
