2025 Ice Breaker

SAVE THE DATE: Saturday, September 20th

Get ready for the Knights Hockey Third Annual Ice Breaker — now with a fresh twist! This year, we’re moving the celebration from our usual Friday night to a new time slot: Saturday morning, September 20th. Why the change? We’re kicking things off with the very first Knights 5K Race — an exciting new tradition that’s sure to bring our community together in an even bigger way.

The 5k Fun Run & Walk will start and end at the Greater Canandaigua Civic Center! 

REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN for the 5K race! Registrants will receive Knights merch, a race bib, and snacks.

  • Open Skate at the GCCC from 11-1pm
  • Delicious Food Trucks
  • Knights Jersey Pick Up  & Apparel Sales
