We have had a change in schedule with Olympian Brianna Decker. We wanted to make you aware.

The Kettle Moraine Ice Center and Washington County Youth Hockey Association have added an additional Girls Try Hockey for Free opportunity on Thursday, February 25 due to a change in Olympian Brianna Decker’s schedule.

Decker regrets she has to reschedule her appearance at the Kettle Moraine Ice Center from Friday 2/26 to Thursday 2/25/21.

Unfortunately, Brianna’s season with the Professional Women’s Hockey Players Association this year has been non-existent. A game was just scheduled for her team at Madison Square Garden that weekend, which is important in her training. She was eager to reschedule for Thursday 2/25 at 5:30 pm, and she will be available to meet the youth skaters and sign autographs during this time.
