Rostraver Ice Garden to host live watch party

California, PA- With voting done and gone its now time to see who will bring home the grand prize of the 2017 Kraft Hockeyville USA competition.  Through a massive outpouring of support throughout the area the Rostraver Ice Garden worked its way into the final two. Now for all those individuals that helped put Rostraver on the map they’ll have the chance to watch live from Rostraver to see if they are the recipients of $150,000 in arena upgrades as well as an NHL preseason game.

Saturday’s watch party will get underway at 1:30 PM from inside the Rostraver Ice Garden.  With the announcement slated for the first intermission of the New York Rangers vs. Ottawa Senators game it won’t be until approximately 3:45-4:00 PM before a winner is announced. Prior to that there will be a free concert put on by Brother Jeep from Across the Creek followed by a DJ up until the time of the announcement.  Kids in attendance will have access to a bounce house, free Zamboni pictures as well as meeting Blaze, the Vulcans mascot.

There will be free hot dogs, pop and water for all in attendance as well as the option to purchase food from Murph’s Pub.  The NBC broadcast of the Rangers and Senators will also be on display inside the arena.
