Why It Matters
Hockey is more than a sport — it’s a community.
Every ticket helps sponsor local kids who dream of playing but can’t afford equipment, travel, or ice time.
A portion of every pass supports Friends of the Florida Jr. Blades, keeping hockey accessible for all players in Southwest Florida.
