School Education Days
The arena is going to rock-and-roll during our School Education Days! Each school that attends receives hockey-based classroom curriculum and will be entered to win a $1,000 grant for their school. Last season, School Education Days set a record with 12,286 students and educators attending. Transportation assistance funds are also available. Go to www.toledowalleye.com for more information. Imagination Station joins the fun and adds several interactive science experiments during the first and second intermissions.

Teddy Bear Toss- Saturday, December 1
The goal horn blows... let the Teddy Bears goooooo! What a beautiful sight... to see thousands of teddy bears raining onto the ice after the Walleye score their first goal. All the bears go to local charities. Fans are asked to bring a teddy bear to the December 1 game (or they can get one in the Swamp Shop) to toss on the ice. Help us break our record of 3000 that was set last season.
Battle of the Badges- Saturday, December 1
The rivalry continues with the 8th annual Battle of the Badges game before our December 1 game. Toledo Fire has dominated the game against Toledo Police, will this year end differently? In the end charity wins- a portion of each ticket sold benefit Police and Fire charities. Your ticket gets you into the Battle of the Badges game and the Walleye game afterwards.
Scout Experience
Nothing tops a Walleye VIP Scout experience. Scouts get to high five the team, meet the mascots. Participate in Interactive learning activities, and the best part, "camp out" high above the ice on the Club Level.
Boy Scout- January 24 (Sleepover) | February 9
Girl Scout- March 2
Paws & Pucks Night
Paws and Pucks Night is back for not one but two dates during the season. The Huntington Center opens its doors to man and man's best friend for the night.
