Varsity Locker Room Visit:

• THE PLAYERS WILL GO INTO THE LOCKER ROOM TO MEET THEIR BLUE LINE BUDDY AND HAVE A CHANCE TO TALK TO THEM AND GET SOME PICTURES WITH THEM.  PICTURES CAN BE FOUND ON THE BLAINE BOYS HOCKEY WEBSITE.
• WHEN IT'S TIME TO HEAD OUT, YOUR PLAYERS WILL PUT HELMETS ON AND LEAD THE HIGH SCHOOL BOYS OVER TO THE RINK DOORS TO GET ON ICE FOR WARM UPS.  THEY WILL LINE UP AT THE DOOR TO GIVE FIST BUMPS AND THEN THEY WILL FOLLOW LAST HS GUY ON ICE, STAYING ALONG THE RIGHT BOARDS UP TO CENTER ICE AND THEN ACROSS OVER TO THE HOME BENCH.
• WHEN WARM UPS ARE OVER, PLAYERS WILL JUMP ON THE ICE AND HELP PICK UP THE PUCKS AND THEN HEAD BACK OFF THE ICE AT THE DOOR THEY ENTERED.  PLAYERS CAN HEAD TO THE DRESSING LOCKER ROOM OR HANGOUT BY THE RINK.
• WHEN HS BOYS COME BACK TO THE RINK FOR GAME TIME, YOU WILL LINE UP TO GIVE FIST BUMPS AND HEAD OUT ON THE ICE AFTER LAST GUY LIKE BEFORE. 
• STAY ALONG THE RIGHT BOARDS AND UP TO THE FAR GOAL LINE AND FIND YOUR BUDDY.  YOUR NAME WILL BE ANNOUNCED WITH YOUR BUDDY AND THEN YOU WILL SKATE OUT WITH THEM TO THE BLUE LINE.  YOU MUST KEEP YOUR HELMETS ON AT ALL TIMES!  AFTER THE NATIONAL ANTHEM YOU WILL GO BACK DOWN ALONG THE SAME BOARDS AND EXIT THE ICE AT THE SAME DOOR.
• FEEL FREE TO CHANGE OUT OF YOUR GEAR AND COME CHEER ON YOUR BLUE LINE BUDDY ON AND THE REST OF THE BOYS HIGH SCHOOL HOCKEY TEAM!!
