2012 RMHC Hockey Challenge Presented by the Seattle Thunderbirds
February 25 & 26, 2012
ShoWare Event Center, Kent, WA
Sharpen those skates and get ready for the 2012 RMHC Hockey Challenge presented by the Seattle Thunderbirds. The 14th annual event will be held on February 25 and 26 at ShoWare Center in Kent. Watch your favorite local teams battle on the ice while raising money for the families at the Seattle Ronald McDonald House.
Started in 1998 as a game between rival Microsoft divisions, with the help of the Seattle Thunderbirds and dedicated hockey fans, the event has grown to include numerous games and has raised more than $4 million dollars for RMHC over the past 13 years.
The event will feature teams from Microsoft and an All-Star Game with T-Birds alum, local and national celebrities. Tickets give you entrance to the whole day of games, including a T-Birds game against the Everett Silvertips.
For tickets for Saturday or Sunday, click here. Your ticket will give you access to all the games on that day. Be sure to enter "RMHC" in the promo code area.
