Freeze Mites-on-Ice at the Prudential Center

 

The NJ Freeze Mite A squad participated in the fun and action at the Prudential Center on Wednesday, Feb. 17th during the NJ Devils vs. Carolina Hurricanes game. The boys were treated to a meet & greet prior to warm-ups when NJ Devils right winger, David Clarkson stepped out to visit with the team.  Mr. Clarkson was very gracious and took time to take photos and sign items for the boys.  The Freeze took possession of the PruCenter ice during the 1st intermission and entertained the crowd with their own mites-on-ice mini-game.   Inspired by the Freeze Mites’ competitive playing nature, the Devils topped off a great night with a solid effort and win 3 – 2 over the Canes.
