The Waterloo Black Hawks welcomes the Chicago Blackhawks to 'Party Town' this Friday night.

During Bud Light Night on Friday, December 29th when the Waterloo Black Hawks host the Lincoln Stars, members of the Chicago Blackhawks Bud Light Ice Crew will be at Young Arena for the game. The Ice Crew represents the National Hockey League’s Blackhawks at all United Center home games and at various community events during the season. You will see them entertaining the crowds and making sure the ice is ready for action.

Throughout their visit to Waterloo, fans are encouraged to meet the Ice Crew for autographs and photos.

“In the spring of 2016, we brought the Stanley Cup to Waterloo,” said Black Hawks Vice President of Sales and Marketing Joe Greene. “This is another opportunity to bring a little bit of the NHL back to the Cedar Valley after so many of our players have gone on to the NHL over the last several years.”

To celebrate the visit by the Chicago Blackhawks Bud Light Ice Crew, Young Arena beer stands will be serving Bud Light 16 oz. aluminum bottles for $2 during the game to fans age 21 and over. All fans can enjoy $2 hot dogs, pizza, and pop throughout the evening.

December 29th is also a College Night. Tickets for purchased by college students with a valid student ID will be $9 on game day or $8 when purchased in advance. One discounted ticket per ID.

For tickets to Waterloo’s first home game after Christmas on December 29th at 7:05 p.m. against the Lincoln Stars – or for any other home game during the 2017/18 regular season – call the Domino’s Black Hawks Box Office at (319) 291-7680 or at WaterlooBlackHawks.com.

Don't forget to join us on New Year's Eve too. The Waterloo Black Hawks will host in-state rival Des Moines. The puck drops on NYE at 6:06 PM.
