It's More Than Just a Hockey Game
Skate, Bid, Cheer

The MDSC All-Stars are sharpening their skates to face-off against the Boston Bruins Alumni to benefit people with Down syndrome for the 10th time! Root the All-Stars on during this yearly grudge match... and bring the whole family because you don't even have to be a skater to get in on the action.

 

This family-friendly event includes a Free Skate for novice and expert skaters alike and a meet and greet with Bruins legends where you can get their autographs. It all culminates with an action-packed game. But that's not all - Don't miss your chance to win great holiday gifts at our Silent Auction and Raffle. See below for more details! 

Not Your Average Free Skate
It's not every day that you get to skate around the rink with the likes of Rick "Nifty" Middleton, Bob Sweeney, Reggie Lemelin, Glen Featherstone, and many more! For many families, the Free Skate (starting at noon this year) is what this event is all about. 

In addition to Bruins Alum, you'll get to hang with Bruins mascot Blades the Bear, Worcester Sharks mascot Finz, the Bruins Ice Girls and the "Clown Referee" Rick Cobban, a former clown with the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey circus.
