Manchester, NH: The Manchester Millrats have been staying active in the local community by donating their time and efforts to help local youth groups.

"The kids really follow the team, they all have their favorite players and know all the stats," stated Millrats forward PJ Young.
In addition, the Millrats paid a visit to local elementry schools to participate in the "Celebrity Reader" program, and spent time reading to the kids.
The Manchester Millrats mission is to give back to our community. We endeavor to stay involved with local schools, youth groups and charities as much as possible. To contact us regarding a visit or to learn more how we can provide assistance for your group please email millrats@gmail.com.
On the court, the Millrats travel to Quebec City on Friday December 28th, looking for payback vs the Kebs, who have knocked off Manchester twice this season. The final home game of 2007 and the last one prior to the Far East trek, is next Sunday December 30th - as the defending ABA Champion Vermont Frost Heaves come to Southern New Hampshire University at 4:35 pm.

All Manchester Millrats games are 'events'. Each game is headlined by a host of entertainment and family fun including exciting basketball, music, live singer(s), our mascot - Milly the Millrat, the Pink Sapphire Dancers, fun contests, a halftime show, and the Spindel Eye Associates $10,000 Hot Shot Challenge!
Note: OurSports Central no longer actively covers the American Basketball Association (ABA) as a professional league due in part to its inability to publish and play a schedule and the transitory nature of many of its teams.
