The Kansas City Mavericks will host their annual Kids Day Game on Wednesday at Cable Dahmer Arena.
The puck is scheduled to drop at 10:35 a.m., signalling the start of the ECHL showdown between the Mavericks at the Idaho Steelheads. KC team officials anticipate a crowd of more than 6,000 elementary-aged students from across the metro.
This year’s event will also welcome seven schools and over 200 students with special needs, providing an inclusive and accessible experience designed to ensure every child can enjoy pro hockey in a supportive environment.
Twenty people supported by Variety KC, a community partner of the Mavs, will enjoy the excitement from suites. The arena’s concourse will feature interactive educational stations, activity tables, sensory-friendly spaces and appearances by the Mavericks’ mascot, Mac, giving students a hands-on way to explore the sport and engage with the game-day atmosphere.
The Mavericks are looking to build on last year’s Mountain Division championship, too, of course. They fell just short in a 4-3 loss to the Tulsa Oilers on Saturday. Bobo Carpenter, Luke Loheit and Jackson Jutting scored in the finale of KC’s second home series of the season.
On Friday, the Mavericks fell 4-2 to Tulsa.
After Wednesday’s Kids Day Game, the Mavericks play the Steelheads two more times this week — on Friday at 7:05 p.m. and Saturday at 6:05 p.m.
