Fitchburg State is teaming up with the IC Federal Credit Union (ICFCU) and is set to host one of the most elite pre-season hockey tournaments this fall. The ICFCU has been a local banking provider since 1928 and has been consistently dedicating itself to the Fitchburg community. The ICFCU has become one of the largest credit unions in the state of Massachusetts and is actively looking forward to the fall hockey classic.
"Fitchburg is a big hockey town...It always has been, the Bruins even used to practice here in the 70's,” said Senior Vice President Judy Kaddy. “We even have several key staff members who formerly played or continue to play on local teams, so this year's IC Federal Credit Union Hockey Shootout should be very exciting. We look forward to a successful event and wish all the teams who are participating the best of luck."
Fitchburg State will kick-off the four-team classic on November 12, 2010 as teams from Assumption College, Wentworth and Franklin Pierce University battle in the two-day tournament. Fitchburg State looks to retain its ICFCU Shootout crown after registering a two-game sweep in the classic last year. The Falcons skated to a convincing 5-3 victory over Assumption College on day one before completing the two-game sweep with a 3-3 (3-1) shootout victory over Wentworth.
“We are extremely pleased to partner with the IC Federal Credit Union for the second annual shootout”, said head hockey coach, Dean Fuller. “It is a great opportunity to give the Fitchburg community a great hockey tournament at the newly renovated Wallace Civic Center.”
