It’s the big boys versus the little kids as UT hockey hosts an exhibition matchup vs. the Austin Roadrunners Mini-Mites (ages 4-8) at the Chaparral Ice Center (14200 I-35) Sunday, Feb. 25, 3:30-4:30pm. Expect some big checks into the boards and plenty of fisticuffs as the UT squad looks to rout the kiddies and leave their blood splattered on the ice. Just kidding, of course. Tickets are $5 for this family-friendly matchup with proceeds benefiting the Make-a-Wish Foundation of Central South Texas to help them achieve their worthy goal of granting the heartfelt wishes of local children. Aside from the hockey, there will be autograph and picture sessions, giveaways, contests, and an auction. Make sure and pick up a commemorative T-shirt for only $12.
