We may be getting closer to fall, but there is a kick off event for the Big Rapids Area Junior Hockey Association taking place this weekend.

As a way to celebrate, BRAJHA will be hosting a kick off event at the Ferris Ice Arena on Sunday Aug. 28th starting at 3pm.

Tim Blashill, Ice Arena Director and Head Coach of the BR High School Hockey team says this is a great way to get all the information you need if you are a returning player or if your just starting out.

Along with a informational meeting from 4:30pm-6pm, there will also be a free open skate for attendees from 4pm-6pm and an equipment sale/swap for families just starting out their hockey journey from 3pm-6pm.
