Bring to the game: warm layers (it's a rink at dawn) and your Sharks gear. We've got coffee and donuts.
Bring to the tailgate: it's the holidays, so food and snacks to share are always welcome. Bring your favorite cupcake! You'll still be home in time to help in the kitchen.
Donate gear: kids of all ages, genders and sizes are learning to play hockey in northern Pakistan, so all gear is welcome. Bring old skates, sticks, gloves, pads or helmets on game day.
Tickets: Free to watch. Just grab a Fan ticket so we know you're coming. Want to give back? Supporter tickets ($10, $25, or $50) help kids learn to skate in northern Pakistan. No pressure: showing up is support enough.
Hosted by San Jose Hockey Now's Zubair Jeewanjee. As seen on NBC Sports Bay Area.
