The Fremont Flyers Youth Hockey Association, in conjunction with a private donor, will host the first GIRLS ONLY Hockey Day from 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Saturday at the Sidner Ice Arena.
The event sold out quickly with 40 girls, some currently playing hockey and some interested in learning to play hockey, ranging in age from 4-14 planning to attend.
Equipment will be provided for those needing it and the event will consist of skating skills, drills, and station-based activities. The event will conclude with an all-girls scrimmage.
“I’m so proud of Lauren and all the girls choosing to play ice hockey,” said Erin Koborg whose daughter, Lauren, plays 14U competitive hockey in Fremont. Koborg said that for Lauren, playing hockey is a chance to honor her dad and share a sport that’s been special to their family for generations. She enjoys seeing Lauren’s hard work and determination materialize into more
opportunities to grow and develop on and off the ice.
“Thanks to hockey, Lauren tackles life with confidence and a growth mindset,” Koborg said.
The Midland University women’s hockey team takes on Jamestown University later in the day and all the girls participating in the Girls Only Hockey Day will receive free admission to the game and to Cosmic Skating after the game.
The Fremont Youth Hockey Association and Sidner Ice Arena host many Intro to Hockey events throughout the year. This is the first that will feature all girls and is a precursor to National Girls and Women in Sports Day being celebrated on Feb. 5.
