The Town of Oyster Bay will host the All-Star Ice Hockey Invitational on Saturday, April 2, according to Town Councilman Chris J.
Coschignano. Three games comprise the Invitational and will include the area’s most accomplished ice hockey players at the middle school, junior varsity and varsity levels. The event will be held at the state-of-the-art Town of Oyster Bay Ice Skating Center in Bethpage beginning with the Middle School All-Star Game at 5:30 p.m.
“The game is a showcase for many of the players who are ascending through the ranks, including those seeking to one day further their educations through athletics,” said Coschignano. “It is an exciting opportunity for these young athletes and the culmination of a season of hard work and dedication. I am sure that they will have a tremendous feeling of pride wearing the jersey of an all-star and skating alongside teammates and opponents who have been similarly honored.”
Admission is free but residents are encouraged to help others by donating two canned goods, which will be collected at the event by Island Harvest as part of ‘Hockey Fights Hunger.’
Coschignano said the Town of Oyster Bay is looking forward to hosting these high level hockey contests.
“We are proud of these outstanding young hockey players,” he said. “We also take pride in our outstanding rink, which serves as a perfect venue for these hockey contests. The ice skating center has been named the best on Long Island for the last five years and players get excited about playing here.”
