Hockey Themed Wedding Features Custom Jerseys And A Skating Bride And Groom At Hersheypark Arena

Hockey themed wedding features custom jerseys and a skating bride and groom at Hersheypark Arena

In the 81-year-history of Hersheypark Arena, it’s rare there are many “firsts” left in the building. But Saturday afternoon, a little bit more history was added to one of the oldest working hockey arenas in North America.

Kym Hamilton and Corry Hartmoyer met playing hockey. “I was actually on a breakaway,” said Kym. “I think I was distracted by his eyes looking through the goalie mask. And then he poke-checked me.”

What Do High School Students Think The Hershey Bears Do For A Living?

What do High School Students Think the Hershey Bears do for a Living?

Any Hershey Bears fan would be able to recognize their favorite player if they encountered them off the ice, right? There is no other way to picture the athletes than as hockey players. As for people who have never attended a Bears game? They wouldn’t have any idea that the guy standing in line behind them is a professional ice hockey player.

I asked high school students who don’t know anything about the Bears what they believe their occupations are. The students were given head shots of eleven players with the jerseys cropped out. They did not know anything about the project being conducted. These are their answers:

Chay Genoway, Nate Schmidt, And Patrick Wellar Visit Chocolate World

Chay Genoway, Nate Schmidt, and Patrick Wellar Visit Chocolate World

On a cold January day, three Hershey Bears walked into Hershey’s Chocolate World for an experience they will never forget. Chay Genoway, Nate Schmidt, and Patrick Wellar enjoyed a day of chocolate, chocolate, and hairnets. The three defensemen rode the world famous Great American Chocolate Tour Ride before creating their own Hershey’s chocolate bar. Luckily, there were cameras to capture the moments of hilarity.

Patrick Wellar would design Chay Genoway’s chocolate bar wrapper, Genoway designing Nate Schmidt’s wrapper, and Schmidt designing Wellar’s.

‘Twas the Night Before Christmas – Hershey Bears Style

IMG_0592

‘Twas the night before Christmas, when all through GC
Not a creature was stirring, not even a Beak;
The banners were hung in the rafters with care,
In hopes another Calder soon would be there;
The sticks were nestled all snug in their racks,
With visions of goals danc’n into the nets,
And Havi in his toque, and I in my cap,
Had just settled down for a pre-game snack —
When out in the park’n lot there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from my seat to see what was the matter.
Away through the aisles I flew like a flash,
Tore though the main concourse, just missing a lass.
The moon on the breast of the new fallen snow,
Gave the luster of mid-day to objects below;
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
But a shiny zamboni, and eight players come near,
With a snazzy dressed driver, so lively and quick,
I knew in a moment it must be St. Yingst.
More rapid than penguins his coursers they came,
And he whistled, and shouted, and call’d them by name:
“Now, Walker! Now, Whitmore! Now, Deschamps and Leggio!
“On, Taffe! On, Byers! On, Wellman and Segal!
“To the top of the porch! To the top of the glass!
“Now skate away! Skate away! Skate away fast!”
As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly,
When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky;
So up to the arena-top, his champions they flew,
As they all shouted out “Merry Christmas, to you!”

Merry Christmas from all of us at Sweetest Hockey on Earth!
