Ducks to Host 13th Annual S.C.O.R.E. Shootout Saturday

The Ducks will host 20 local schools as part of the S.C.O.R.E. Street Hockey Shootout presented by Chick-fil-A SoCal this Saturday, May 14 from 7:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at Honda Center. The award-winning Ducks S.C.O.R.E. (Scholastic Curriculum Of Recreation & Education) program was developed by the Anaheim Ducks Hockey Club in 2005 with the goal of making a positive impact with youth in local schools and hockey communities throughout Southern California.

The S.C.O.R.E. Street Hockey Shootout is the culminating event of the S.C.O.R.E. Street Hockey program, a free, in-school, physical fitness curriculum that currently reaches over 15,000 students in Orange and Riverside counties. The program emphasizes sportsmanship and teamwork, while teaching students the fundamentals of street hockey.
The tournament will feature coed teams comprised of fourth grade students that will play in a round robin format, with teams advancing to a championship bracket starting at 11:45 a.m. Schools will compete against one another for a chance to hoist the most revered trophy in street hockey, the S.C.O.R.E. Cup. After the trophy is awarded, the Cup will be engraved with the name of each player and coach from the winning team. Like the Stanley Cup, every player will also have a chance to spend a day with the S.C.O.R.E. Cup over their summer break. The summer of celebration will end with the winning team being honored on-ice during a pre-game ceremony at a Ducks home game during the 2022-23 season. Beechwood School (Fullerton) defeated Friends Christian School (Yorba Linda) in the championship game last year to claim their school's second championship.
Ducks fans, friends, and families of the participants are encouraged to come out to Honda Center on May 14 to take part in the tournament festivities. Food trucks, hockey activities, Esports, a silent auction with autographed Ducks items, and appearances by Wild Wing and other special Ducks guests will provide fans with plenty to do and see in between 49 games. Chick-fil-A SoCal, the official chicken sandwich of the Anaheim Ducks, will provide over 400 lunches for players, coaches, and volunteers. Additionally, Chick-fil-A SoCal brand ambassadors will also be on site with games, special promotional items, and photo opportunities with their world-famous cow mascot team.
The award-winning Ducks S.C.O.R.E. program is the primary beneficiary of the Anaheim Ducks Foundation. It was developed in 2005 with the goal of promoting and cultivating healthy living and academic excellence to all students in Southern California.
