Third annual SoKY Santa Shootout looks to help local non-profit

BOWLING GREEN Ky.-Adult hockey players from Nashville, Owensboro and around South-Central Kentucky laced up their skates and put on their pads and helmets in Bowling Green for a good cause.

The third annual SoKY Santa Shootout will be held December 28 at the SoKY ice rink at 10:30 PM.

The tournament is sponsored by the Warren County Inline Hockey League and will feature 5 teams.

The sporting event is raising money for the non-profit organization Hotel Inc. The fees collected when people sign up for the tournament are sent to the organization.

Last year, the tournament raised almost $1,000. Event organizer Nathan Fielder said he looks forward to helping by hitting the ice.

“We want to help people be taken care of, and that’s definitely a thing that Hotel Inc. does very well, they are trying to get people back on their feet, and they do get housing. In the meantime, they need donations to keep everything running,” Fielder.

The general public is encouraged to come watch the tournament. Admission is free.
