February 18, 2021 – West Bend, WI – Olympic hockey player Brianna Decker is coming to the Kettle Moraine Ice Center this month, however the date has changed.
In January a story posted on WashingtonCountyInsider.com announced Decker’s appearance, however the event is now rescheduled for Thursday, February 25.
A notice from the Washington County Youth Hockey Association and Jenny Thill is below.
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.
The WCYHA will now host back-to-back Girls Try Hockey for Free events, allowing new skaters an additional opportunity to get in on the fun. Please arrive an hour early to get fit for gear.

Last weekend, the team team earned a bid to the WAHA state tournament March 5-7, defeating Ozaukee. This will mark the third consecutive state tournament appearance at the 10u level for the Ice Lynx program, which began in 2017.
