SKATE 48 has a long standing tradition of fun hockey, a boisterous post-game meal, prizes, spirited conversation and bragging rights for the remainder of the year. Above all, over $3.6 million has been raised for children’s charities since its inception in 1990.

We need you to rally your team, your friends, and your family to come to the support of this important community fundraiser.  Many charities are hurting because of Covid-19, so we can’t let them down.

Our success depends on you!
