Bears Vs Ice Dogs Game Huge
Hit With Mighty Roos Kids Club
Mighty
Roos national players Murray Wand, Vlad Rubes, Tyler Lovering
and Brett Nelson-Bond meet several Kids Club members
At a full house,
the Bears/Ice Dogs “Mighty Roos Kids Club” game proved
to be a huge success. National team players, from the West Sydney
Ice Dogs and Sydney Bears, showed their class on the ice with one
of the best games of the year. “The cross-town rivalry delivered
everything promised and more”, said IHA Marketing Director,
Rick Williams.
“Tonight was a special event for
our Mighty Roos Kids Club members and we have to thank Anthony Wilson
and Barry Robertson for helping, he said. The evening got off to a
momentous start with legendary Blacktown celebrity “John Wilson”
dropping the puck to start the game. “Over the past 15 years,
out of their own pockets, the Wilson’s have donated skates,
hockey gear and have admitted “free” hundreds of kids
into Blacktown Arena” said Williams. “It was appropriate
that someone who has given so much, to the kids in the West, be the
one to officially get this special event under way”. The evening
not only featured a great hockey game but gave fans the opportunity
to buy the latest Mighty Roos gear, which can be seen on www.mightyroos.com.
In
the end, although the Ice Dogs were on the right end of the score
board, the big winners were the Mighty Roos Kids Club members who
enjoyed the greatest show on ice. Many thanks to the Blacktown Arena,
their staff and volunteers, the teams and Ken and Elaine (from Mighty
Roos merchandising). The next Mighty Roos Kids Club Open Practise,
which is scheduled in Adelaide, will be announced shortly.
