The Winterhawks and Toyota are gearing up to host Portland's biggest New Year's Eve party with the annual Tommy's Flocking Eve Game on Wednesday, December 31st at 5:00 p.m.

There's no better way to kick off the new year than by cheering on your Hawks, skating with the players after the game, participating in Toyota Fan Fest, and having the chance to win a 2026 Toyota Corolla Cross!

Toyota Fan Fest!

This family-friendly evening kicks off with the doors opening at 4:00 p.m. and a 5:00 p.m. puck drop-perfect for fans of all ages.

After the game, lace up your skates and join the Winterhawks players for a post-game skating session on the Veterans Memorial Coliseum ice.

At 9:00 p.m. (midnight EST), we'll light up the arena with a cash balloon drop, letting you ring in the New Year a little early with some extra excitement!

The following booths will be set up during and after the game on the concourse:

Caricaturist

Henna Artist

Balloon Art

Face Painting

Tarot Card Reader

DJ

Toyota

Once the final horn sounds, be on the lookout for a roaming magician!

Back by popular demand, the Winterhawks players will be skating with fans after the game! The players will be available for autographs and photos!
