The Cubs with the help of the National Hockey League will host a “neighborhood skate” on January 4th, 2009. This comes on the heels of the Blackhawks-Red Wings match on the temporay rink set up at the Friendly Confines which will be played New Year’s Day.
Don’t bother looking for tix for the game… they’re already sold out. It’s the first such hockey game at a baseball venue.
As for the open skate, invites were sent to local residents and groups. The $10 charge will go to Cubs charities.
Bleed Cubbie Blue has some photos of the construction going on for the events.
