First 500 Kids Get Jerseys, Courtesy of Christie Door Company

Waterloo, Iowa–Five hundred happy kids will take home a free Waterloo Black Hawks youth jersey from the team’s next home game on Friday, November 20th against the Sioux Falls Stampede.

The 6:35 p.m. meeting at Young Arena is being staged on National Kids Day. The promotional jerseys are presented by Christie Door Company and will be handed out to kids aged 4 to 12. The popular black and red design debuted last season on official game jerseys. Young fans eligible to receive a free jersey can also get $10 tickets when ordered using the code kids2026 at tickets.waterlooblackhawks.com.

“This is a great promotion for kids, but it’s a great promotion for parents, too,” said Black Hawks President and COO Joe Greene. “It goes without saying that families will remember being together at this game every time that jersey comes out of the closet. We really appreciate Christie Door Company’s longstanding support of these jersey giveaways for the last nine years.”

Christie Door Company is based in Cedar Falls and has roots back to 1952. They operate with the motto: “Our Name Stands for Quality, Value is our Tradition.” Serving residential and commercial customers, Christie Door Company installs and services garage doors throughout the Cedar Valley and Northern Iowa. Find them online at christiedoorcompany.com.

As part of Kids Day festivities, skaters participating in the Learn to Play program will take the ice at intermission. Waterloo is one of eight non-National Hockey League communities currently offering Learn to Play. It was introduced this fall, attracting dozens of initial participants. A second Learn to Play session begins in January, with sign ups currently underway. Learn to play is an initiative of the NHL and National Hockey League Players Association. It is presented locally by Community Bank & Trust.

Seats for Kids Day on Friday, November 20th are available now from tickets.waterlooblackhawks.com (Code: kids2026) or by calling the Domino’s Black Hawks Box Office at (319) 291-7680.
