Texas Stars Hockey at Cedar Park Center
Saturday, January 5, $26 pp
Depart SCPL 6 p.m.; Return 10:45 p.m.
What could be better on a coldwinter night
thanwatching an action-packed hockey game?
The Texas Stars, league affiliate for the Dallas
Stars Hockey Club, were previously coached by
Glen Gulutzan, who became the head coach of
the Dallas Stars in 2011, a testament to the quality of the team.
Texas Stars games are full of great skating and fist throwing!
Our seats will provide a bird’s eye view of all the action. We will
be in the first few rows, section 114, starting at row I. Part of
the fun is watching and listening to the crowd. The Center has
ample food and beverage choices for you to purchase on your own.
Note: There is a short walk from the bus to our seats with
about ten steps to climb. At Cedar Park Center, the seats
are narrow with little leg room. The Center tends to be
cold so bring a jacket and dress warm.
Ticket cost includes transportation and entrance to the game.

and vending machines, and some classic cars.
