WINGS WEST ICE ARENA
(11am-9pm)
Come out and support the event, have some fun, and watch some hockey!
The South Central High School Hockey League (SCHSHL) and the Kalamazoo Optimist Hockey Association (KOHA) are once again partnering with Great Lakes Center for Autism Treatment and Research (GLC) to host the 8th annual Youth Hockey Fights for Kids with Autism event to raise funds for autism treatment and build autism awareness in our community.
Proceeds from the event will benefit Great Lakes Center for Autism Treatment and Research whose mission is to partner with individuals and families affected by autism to improve their quality of life through effective and efficient diagnosis, assessment, and behaviorally-based treatment.
Okemos @ Kalamazoo United - 11:15am
Mid-Michigan @ Kalamazoo Eagles - 1:15pm
Cap City @ Portage Central - 3:30pm
Lumen Christi @ Mattawan - 6:15pm
Eastside @ Portage Northern - 8:15pm
During the five high school hockey games, there will be an
opportunity to bid on a variety of gift baskets donated by our
Kalamazoo hockey teams. We are asking for each team to put
together a basket that can be displayed and purchased on
February 15th.
With the help of our KOHA House C, Bronco B, K-Wings, JV and the SCHSHL teams, we could have over 50 baskets available with 100% of the proceeds going back to the Great Lakes Center for Autism Treatment and Research. How awesome is that?!
It’s time to get creative hockey teams! Please compile your basket and get to the KOHA office by February 10th, 2020. This will allow us time to promote and advertise the wide variety of baskets we have available.
Help us top the 2019 donation total!
Each SCHSHL Team will be competing OFF THE ICE as well on Saturday 2/15 with the return of the TEAM BUCKET CHALLENGE!
HOW CAN YOU HELP? Be sure to show your support by dropping a donation in your favorite high school team's bucket that day! Some teams have secured local businesses to match donations up to a certain amount (varies by team and sponsor). THEY NEED YOUR HELP! Proceeds benefit the Great Lakes Center for Autism Treatment & Research.
Thank you to the following 2020 Team Bucket Challenge Matching Sponsors:
