A few important call outs to mention to help make this a smooth and enjoyable new spirit night for our families:

Buy Tickets Online. Follow the QR code or link to our Hicks ticket landing page (strongly encouraged) for advance ticket purchasing to help expedite the check-in process: https://bit.ly/3DP7YE5
Use the Pre-Purchased Ticket Line Entrance. There will be a separate line at the entrance for pre-purchased tickets. Do not stand in the purchasing line if you’ve pre-purchased tickets.
Arrive Early Due to Robotics Event Traffic. There is a Robotics event in the arena on 12/3 so that will add traffic to the area. Please plan to arrive early and allow extra time to enter.
No Parking Charge for Hicks Families. There may be a charge for parking for the Robotics arena event, but there is no charge for our families coming to skate. Please tell the parking staff you are there to skate with Hicks.
Skate Ends at 8:45pm. All public skating ends at 8:45pm so arrive early to make the most of your skating session.
