Last season we introduced the first ever “Youth and Amateur Hockey Night” celebrating the growth of hockey in Ohio and your passion for the game. The night was a resounding success with close to one thousand USA Hockey members attending the game and over five hundred attending a post game meet and greet session with Blue Jackets forward Rick Nash.

Following the success of this event the “Ignite the Championships” ticket package was created to provide you with a similarly unique opportunity while also supporting the Ohio High School State Hockey Championships held at Nationwide Arena. We would like to once again offer you this package.

All those participating in the “Ignite the Championships” ticket package will receive tickets to Saturday, March 6 and Sunday, March 7 (3 games total) of the state high school championships, a free co-branded Blue Jackets/Ohio High School State Hockey Championships puck and the exclusive opportunity to meet selected Blue Jackets players in a pre-game private meet and greet at the state championship game. Complete details of the package are outlined in the attached ticket order form.

There are now over 13,500 registered hockey players in Ohio and over 75 varsity high school hockey programs. These positive numbers and the strength of youth and amateur hockey programs throughout the state of Ohio are due to your continued commitment to the sport and infectious passion. Please continue with this trend and show your support for these high school athletes.

If you have any additional questions or to order your “Ignite the Championships” tickets by phone, please contact us at (614) 246-PUCK (7825). Otherwise you can complete the attached order form and return it by mail or fax. We hope you will be part of this special event.
