ORONO, Maine – The University of Maine men's and women's ice hockey teams are set to host their annual Skate with the Bears event on Saturday, Dec. 10.
 
The event will follow the men's ice hockey game against Canisius at the Alfond Arena. Puck drop is set for 2:05 pm and the event is scheduled for approximately 5:00-6:00 p.m., depending on the conclusion of the game against Canisius.
 
This popular family event is a great opportunity for fans of all ages to meet the players from both the men's and women's ice hockey teams and have their pictures taken with the players. Participants – on skates or on their feet – will be able to pick up a free player autograph sheet and gather as many autographs as they can.
 
• Skates will be permitted inside Alfond Arena during the contest.
• Fans will not be allowed re-entry into Alfond Arena if they leave during the game and will have to wait until the end of the contest to enter the arena for Skate with the Bears.
• A limited supply of skate rentals will be available.
• Fans wishing to attend Skate with the Bears are not required to have a ticket to that day's game. However, if you do not have a ticket to the game, you will not be allowed into Alfond Arena for the Skate with the Bears event until the conclusion of the game against Canisius.
