Thursday morning the Hershey Bears took part in their first outdoor practice on the rink at Hersheypark Arena. The event provided great images to capture and share with fans, without making them have to brave the cold like members of the Chocolate and White.
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.”
