It’s time to lace up those blades, gather up the family and head over to the Buffalo State Ice Arena. The annual Anderson’s Family Skate is scheduled for Nov. 29 when your Griffs host U/Conn the afternoon following Thanksgiving.
What a great way to wrap up Black Friday with a trip to the rink where all Faculty/Staff and their family members are admitted free, get the opportunity to skate for free with free rentals and then receive a delicious dish of Anderson’s Ice Cream. Talk about an event that is easy on the budget!!
Game time is 4 pm with the free skate to follow immediately after the contest. Your favorite Griffs will join everyone on the ice at the conclusion of the game.
So mark your calendar for November 29 – free admission (you can pick up your tickets in advance at the KAC box office, or the day of the game), free skate, free skate rentals and free ice cream.
