BINGHAMTON - The Binghamton Devils have partnered with USA Hockey and the Southern Tier Hockey Association (STHA) to host Try Hockey Free Day on February 23. This completely free experience will provide kids with a basic understanding of skating and the game of hockey.
"We're excited and honored to have families come out and give hockey a try for free," said Binghamton Devils Executive Vice President of Business Operations, Tom Mitchell. "The Southern Tier Hockey Association does an amazing job growing youth hockey in the Southern Tier and this will be another great effort to do so. We're looking forward to seeing all the children try hockey and enjoy a Devils game for free that night!"
Parents can register their child, age four to nine, in one of two time slots. The first session will run from 12 p.m. - 1 p.m., and the second from 1 p.m. - 2p.m. Registration is limited to 40 children per session and equipment will be provided courtesy of the STHA.

"The STHA and the Binghamton Devils look forward to welcoming families to the Floyd L. Maines Veterans Memorial Arena to try our great sport of ice hockey" said STHA President Chris Behonick. "Our goal is for these children who come out to join us to have a smile on their face the entire time. We are excited and pleased to team with the Binghamton Devils, who have been great supporters of the STHA and our members."
