It will be held at the Green Mill Event Center in the Premier Bank Building in Hastings from 6:00pm to midnight. There was a huge turnout for this event last year and we expect an even bigger group in 2012.

Saturday, February 4, 2012 has been designated as “Hastings Hockey Day”! This will be a day of fun from sunrise to sunset with all levels of hockey playing on the east and west rinks. The Hastings Hockey Boosters have scheduled a home game for all of our in-house and traveling teams. Additionally, there will also be Hastings High School JV and Varsity Boys games wrapping up the days events. A detailed game schedule will be posted soon on the HHB website. Come out and watch hockey with some hot chocolate or other refreshments and show your pride in our community!
