Thank You!
Fans of all ages..
October 06, 2003 - The Illini hockey club would like to thank everyone that turned out for the "Skate with the Illini" outing this past weekend, making the event a success. For two hours on Saturday night, the team came together to meet the fans, sign some autographs, and support a good cause, The Don Moyer Boys & Girls Club of Champaign/Urbana whose programs and activities are designed to improve the quality of life for each child in order to provide a strong foundation for the future of the community, the nation and the world. For a small admission fee attendees were given free skate rental and "Skate with the Illini" tee shirts that they could put on and have signed by any or all of the Illini players that skated around the ice arena with their Sharpee's. The fans, who ranged from young to old, and various degrees of skating ability, were able to easily pick out the newest additions to the Illini roster as they all sported their stylish new haircuts, which is supposed to be more aerodynamic and help them skate faster. Again the coaches and players would like to thank you for supporting both the team and the community.
