I’ve always enjoyed attending hockey games. I used to watch the Cincinnati Cyclones play at the Cincinnati Gardens when I was a teenager. I even had a job in college as waitstaff in the VIP seating sections that allowed me to watch all of the Dallas Stars hockey games during their winning season that took them to the playoffs. Now I really enjoy taking my family to games to start our own hockey traditions.
So why should you check out a Cincinnati Cyclones hockey game?
…
One of my favorite forms of social media is Instagram. I LOVE checking out photos of friends and travelers. I also really enjoy taking pictures.
I’ve been a contributor for Cincinnati USA’s Livin In The Cin campaign over the past few months where myself and a few other local bloggers highlight hidden gems in our city.
My third mission from Cincinnati USA was to “Photograph one or more things, places, people, etc. that represent the challenge word given and show off reasons you are excited to live in Cincinnati USA.”

Have you been to a Cincinnati Cyclones game before?
Hockey is fast paced and so much fun for the whole family to watch.
Our family loves to go to hockey games together and this Friday is going to be even better because the Cyclones are doing a special Star Wars themed night. My kids LOVE Star Wars, so this game will be even more fun!
Star Wars Fans have a lot to look forward to.
* Appearances by Star Wars Characters
* First 1500 kids ages 2-12 will receive Cyclones Light sabers
*The Cyclones will wear special Storm Trooper Jerseys that will be auctioned off after the game to benefit Most Valuable Kids.
MVK overcomes the financial obstacles associated with life events by distributing unused tickets to kids who would enjoy the opportunity to go to an event, but would otherwise not be able to because of the high costs associated with tickets. These tickets are distributed to boys and girls, 18 and under, through local tax-exempt organizations that focus on children in low-income and underserved households.
*Tickets are only $13!
You can purchase tickets online from the Cyclones website or at the door.
I’ve been given 4 tickets to giveaway to this Friday’s game!
The Cincinnati Cyclones will be playing at US Bank Arena. US Bank Arena is located at 100 Broadway St, Cincinnati, OH 45202.
It’s always fun to see my friends getting to live their dreams. I want to introduce you to a band that I would listen to even if we had never met.

I have fond memories of watching the Cincinnati Cyclones while I was in high school. Moving back to the area has given us the opportunity to now share the experience of a Cyclones game with our kids. You don’t have to be a huge hockey fan to enjoy a Cyclones game.
I’m a usually a “few token games a year” type of sports fan and hockey is always really enjoyable for me to watch. I think it’s even better live in person than on tv. I love that it’s fast moving and always has a lot of action. It also gives you an excuse to wear a face mask made out of foam.
There is typically some type of promotion or special at each game. I suggest getting there early if you want to receive one of the limited giveaways at the door. Our kids received free Cyclones t-shirts courtesy of Rumke for Kids Jersey T shirt night.
The Cyclones do a great job of keeping the attention span of all interest levels. There was great music during breaks to dance to and every intermissions had a fun game that involves the crowd.
Every now and then you might see a fight but the refs do not let it get too far out of hand.
There is also the adorable mascot named Twister.
He would probably not like that I called him adorable but he is.
We got to share our suite and our fun evening with a few other local bloggers. Ann blogs at Ann I am and Amy is a contributor for Family Friendly Cincinnati and also blogs at In a galaxy far far away You should definitely check out their sites if you haven’t been to them yet.
