December 1, 2012- February 22, 2013  -  For kids ages 5-13

Local children can earn hockey tickets, a cap and skate in CenturyLink Arena this winter, thanks to the CenturyLink Hat Trick Reading Program, sponsored by the Idaho Steelheads and CenturyLink in partnership with local public libraries. Children receive the rewards for scoring three goals, known as a hat trick in hockey terminology.

How It Works
