Once again we thank you, our amazing fans and community for your support, we couldn't do it without you!

Celebrate Monday at Gardner Road Elementary School
Blade welcomes Gardner Road students on their way into school on 11/16
Blade surprised students at Gardner Road Elementary School on November 16th for Celebrate Mondays. Celebrate Mondays is a program schools are adopting to create excitement for the school day, and celebrate students accomplishments throughout the school year.
Catch of the Day Program at Diven Elementary School
On November 20, Blade stopped by Diven Elementary School to see his Dolphin friends. Diven Elementary has developed a program, Good Kid Patrol "Catch of the Day." All Good Kid Patrols earned on the "Catch of the Day," have their name put into a net at the main office. Once a month, 10 names are pulled from the net and those students are awarded 4 tickets to a Jackals game. We love rewarding our local youth for making good choices and making their school a better place. Congrats Diven Elementary, keep up the good work!

David Clark Foundation
The Dave Clark Foundation was created to inspire and motivate people with personal and physical limitations, to stay positive and live productive lives.
The Jackals and staff teamed up with the foundation on the 21st to show participants a little bit about hockey and run them through different drills that the players work on throughout the season. It was a fun and exciting morning for everyone present.
