Just like making resolutions, wearing party hats, and counting down the final seconds of the old year, watching the puck drop at Young Arena is a well-established Cedar Valley tradition.
The first hockey players to ever take the ice in the Cedar Valley pulled on their jerseys to benefit veterans; the Black Hawks will honor that heritage on Veteran’s Day with 1927 replica Waterloo jerseys, presented by American Pattern.
In preparation for another year of service, the 2016 Red Kettle Campaign in the Cedar Valley officially begins on Saturday, November 5th during the Waterloo Black Hawks’ game against the Youngstown Phantoms at Young Arena.
