Pittsburgh, PA - The Pittsburgh Stars AAA Hockey Program, proud members of the North American Prospects Hockey League (NAPHL) and the Tier I Hockey Federation (T1HF), will continue their 2024-2025 Community Initiative Games on Saturday, Feb. 1, as the U15 AAA Pittsburgh Stars will square-off with CarShield AAA at 10:00 a.m., at the Pittsburgh Ice Arena.
For their Community Initiative game on Feb 1, the 15U Pittsburgh Stars will wear special third jerseys, designed to recognize and honor Ronald McDonald House Charities of Pittsburgh and Morgantown as their Cause / Initiative.
The U15 Stars Community Initiative game was originally scheduled for Jan 11, but the game was postponed and the Community Initiative Game was shifted to Feb 1.
Celebrating their 45th Anniversary of serving the Greater Pittsburgh area, the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Pittsburgh and Morgantown, Inc., provides families with a “home-away-from-home” for seriously ill children receiving medical treatment in both Pittsburgh and Morgantown. The charity is committed to helping children and their families lead happier, healthier and more productive lives.”
The event will be filled with excitement and family-friendly activities, including:
- A $5 Entry Donation: All proceeds will go toward supporting the Ronald McDonald House Charities.
- 50/50 Raffle: A chance to win big while contributing to a great cause.
- Chuck-a-Puck Contest: Fans can join in the fun between the second and third periods for a shot at a cash prize.
- And Other Exciting Opportunities: To assist in raising funds for a great cause.
“We are honored to help shed additional light on the efforts of the Ronald McDonald House,” said Dave Kosick, General Manager of the Pittsburgh Stars AAA Hockey program.
“And as we take a moment to recognize and celebrate their work and efforts,” Kosick added, “it also provides a pause to allow us to recognize those that the Ronald McDonald House serves, and to provide some funding to assist them in their time of need."
Doors open at 9:30, with the puck dropping promptly at 10:00 AM.
The Pittsburgh Stars 15U AAA Hockey Team encourages fans of all ages to attend and show their support.
The Pittsburgh Stars AAA Hockey Community Initiative games are designated to celebrate a local charity or cause and help raise awareness and funds for them. Each of the Stars seven AAA teams selected a recipient and have organized a “special home game” to recognize the cause / charity and raise money on behalf of them.
This is the first of two scheduled Pittsburgh Stars AAA Hockey “Community Initiative Games” set to benefit Ronald McDonald House Charities of Pittsburgh and Morgantown.
The U14 AAA Pittsburgh Stars will celebrate their Community Initiative Games, also benefiting the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Pittsburgh and Morgantown on Saturday, Feb 8, 2025, 5:00 p.m., vs. Jersey Hitmen.
Both games will be played at the Pittsburgh Ice Arena in New Kensington, PA, home rink for the Pittsburgh Stars AAA Hockey program.
