"We are excited to partner together with the Chicagoland and Northwest Indiana Kia retailers to create the inaugural Salute to Military Families game," said Chicago Wolves president Mike Gordon. "Not only has programming been created for this event that will give men and women in the military their proper due, but families will be able to enjoy the evening together."

During the first intermission, the U.S. Navy will conduct an Oath of Enlistment ceremony on the ice to welcome future sailors into the service.On the concourse, fans have the opportunity to write a letter to a soldier. There will also be an extended break when all veterans will be acknowledged.
