Midco Sports will broadcast 5 High School Hockey games on their station Tuesday and Wednesday if you’d like to tune in.

Additional noise expected – Each game played at the plaza Tuesday through Sunday will include the PA system and Music being used for the kids and fan experience. Please forgive any disruptions to your normal schedule or business if you work from The Lights.

There will be a New Year’s Eve glow skate that will have a DJ onstage playing music until the New Year countdown is begun. Please be prepared for the late night noise as we celebrate.
