Heroes to see Wild for free

-

WIDNES WILD are delighted to confirm that they are continuing their offer of free tickets for NHS workers and firefighte­rs for the 2018-19 season with the Wild looking to build on the playoff winning success of last season by lifting the league title and gaining promotion.

The success of the recent #ForManches­ter at Silver Blades Altrincham highlighte­d how passionate and caring the sport of ice hockey is raising more than £31,000 for the victims of the Manchester Arena tragedy.

Two of the Wild’s players, Lee Kemp and Danny Bullock, volunteere­d their time to play in the recent Puck Aid game in Milton Keynes having played in the #ForManches­ter contest last season. ●

Speaking about the Widnes Wild’s initiative to give free tickets to NHS workers and firefighte­rs Bullock commented: “Playing ice hockey for the Wild is a privilege as it brings enjoyment to thousands of people each year.

“However, it is nothing in comparison to the lifesaving work that nurses, doctors, paramedics and firefighte­rs do.

“I’m proud to be involved with a team that recognises the contributi­on these heroes make to our local community.”

In order to acquire a free game ticket all NHS staff and firefighte­rs need to do is complete a short form, selecting the team they would like to watch play the RTL Widnes Wild (if they have a preference).

Once the fixtures are announced a compliment­ary ticket will be sent out and to redeem it all that is needed is for the ticket holder to present it along with their NHS or firefighte­r ID cards.
