Icy Conditions in St. Louis - Welcome Frozen Four Fans!
College hockey fans are coming. More than 19,000 of them descend on downtown this weekend for the 2007 NCAA Men’s Frozen Four at Scottrade Center. The event, hosted by the St. Louis Sports Commission and College Hockey America, has been sold out since last summer, but that doesn't mean you can't take part in various activities celebrating the tournament.
St. Louis Union Station will be a hub for activity and home to several free events. On Thursday, Friday and Saturday, Union Station will host the “Frozen Fest” featuring games, music and more from noon to 6 p.m. Live concerts will take place in the evening all three days as part of “Postgame at the Station.” Pep rallies, presented by Pontiac, with the team pep bands, cheer squads and mascots take place at noon Thursday and 3 p.m. Saturday. On Friday, Union Station will host autograph sessions with the Hobey Baker Award finalists and the final two teams from 3:30 to 5 p.m. Area youth hockey champions will be honored at 5:30 p.m. during the “Night of Champions” ceremony. Participants will then march to Scottrade Center to attend the Pontiac Frozen Four Skills Challenge.
Speaking of the Pontiac Frozen Four Skills Challenge, that’s the main event for Friday Night at the Frozen Four. Starting at 7:30 p.m., some of the nation’s top male and female college hockey players will show off their talents in an East vs. West team format. Events include: puck control relay, fastest skater, hardest shot, rapid-fire shooting, accuracy shooting and penalty shot competition. Purchasing a ticket ($10) to the Pontiac Frozen Four Skills Challenge also provides admission to the presentations of the prestigious Hobey Baker Award (6 p.m.) and Hockey Humanitarian Award (6:35 p.m.) as well as the announcement of the AHCA All-America teams (7:20 p.m.). All of these events will take place at Scottrade Center. Fans can purchase tickets at http://www.ticketmaster.com/ or by calling 314-241-1888.
