HANOVER, N.H. - The Dartmouth men's hockey team hosted its annual Skate With The Big Green Sunday afternoon at Thompson Arena with several hundred fans in attendance.

Members of the team, as well as head coach Bob Gaudet, took to the ice with local kids and their parents for one of the program's favorite events of the season.

"It's always great to have the kids come out and meet and skate with their favorite players," Gaudet said. "We always enjoy having them out on the ice and I think the guys really like talking to the kids, having some fun with them and signing a few autographs."

The Big Green just finished their first weekend of play, hosting the Ivy Shootout. Despite a 2-1 loss the night before, the team had a good time skating with their young fans as well as signing the team poster and jerseys.
