What to Expect at Hospice Hockey

On Saturday 7 June, The Odyssey Trust will host 'Hospice Hockey', a special charity ice hockey game that aims to raise £100,000 for Northern Ireland Hospice, at The SSE Arena, Belfast.
Join us for a special evening in support of Northern Ireland Hospice, packed with exciting on-ice action, competitions, and entertainment. The night will see celebrities and ice hockey stars alike take to the ice to raise as much money as possible for this incredible local charity.
Here’s what to expect throughout the night:
First Period: Ice Hockey
To begin the night, celebrities will take to the ice in a mini games to help find their feet and put their training into action. It’s their chance to show us what they've got, win valuable points for their teams, and maybe even show off some hidden hockey skills!
Second Period: Games, Skills & Sledge Hockey
In the second period, it’s time for some fun and friendly competition. Players and celebrities will go head-to-head in a series of games as we test out their skills. It’ll be a chance to see a different side of your favourites – as they earn some all-important points along the way.
This period will also see roster members take to the ice in sledges. Fast-paced, physical, and full of skill, the sledge skate will be a highlight of the overall night and a fantastic celebration of the sport’s inclusivity and adaptability.
Third Period: On-Ice Shootout
The night will wrap up with more high-energy game action, and then we’ll turn up the pressure with a thrilling shootout finale. One-on-one, player versus goalie - the perfect way to end an unforgettable evening on the ice. With points on the line across all events, one team will be crowned Hospice Hockey Champions - but the real win will be the support you're helping us to raise for such a vital cause and incredible charity, Northern Ireland Hospice.
You WIN, Hospice WIN!
Throughout the evening and during intermissions, get involved in fun activities, games, and incredible giveaways. Funds raised on this special night will go directly to the Hospice to support their amazing work.
