Wild Willie has been training hard all year for the Mascot Challenges. In Saint John he lost to the Sea Dogs Mascot "Fleaburn" under suspicious circumstances. He's geared up and will be in competition mode as he competes during the 2nd intermission on New Year's Eve.
The New Year's Game is also the final food-drive for the Wildcats, which plays a factor in the Rivalry Cup. Fans are strongly encouraged to bring non-perishable food items to the Game. Apart from helping the hungry in our community every fan who brings an item will have the opportunity to try their luck in the treasure chest contest where tickets for the entire remainder of the season will be won.
Excitement will be in the air at the Coliseum on New Year's Eve. Free Face painting, Clowns, and Buskers will be adding to the atmosphere. The game also marks the finale of the Art-on-Ice program which supports community school breakfast programs. A special prize for the 2010th person through the door will make one fan's night and there are many surprises in store for those who come.
