JAMESTOWN – Hockey will be taking center stage in downtown Jamestown this weekend.
The Jamestown Savings Bank Arena’s 24 Hour James(Hockey)town Event will get underway tonight at 7 pm and continue for 24 hours – with not only more than two dozen hockey games set to take place, but also several other events and activities to keep players and fans entertained throughout the entire event.
The ice arena is hosting the event in collaboration with WCA Hospital and will benefit the hospital’s Heart Center in recognition of American Heart Month.
24 Hour James(Hockey)town will also raise awareness of Kraft Hockeyville. Jamestown has the opportunity to host a NHL® Pre-season Game and receive $150,000 in arena upgrades. All you have to do is go online to www.krafthockeyville.com, nominate the Jamestown Savings Bank Arena, and explain why Jamestown is Hockeytown, USA!
Tickets for the event are $10/person, $30/family of 5, and kids 12 and under are free. If you purchase your ticket online, you are automatically entered into a drawing to win 16 suite tickets for the Buffalo Sabres vs. the Toronto Maple Leafs game on April 1 in Buffalo.
