FITCHBURG, Mass. (November 8, 2011) – The Fitchburg State athletics department is set to host its third annual IC Federal Credit Union Shootout this Friday as the Falcons have partnered with local banking provider, IC Federal Credit Union for the 2011 hockey classic.
Fitchburg State is teaming up with the IC Federal Credit Union (ICFCU) and is set to host one of the most elite pre-season hockey tournaments this fall. The ICFCU has been a local banking provider since 1928 and has been consistently dedicating itself to the Fitchburg community. The ICFCU has become one of the largest credit unions in the state of Massachusetts and is actively looking forward to the fall hockey classic.
"Fitchburg is a big hockey town...It always has been, the Bruins even used to practice here in the 70's” said Senior Vice President Judy Kaddy. “We even have several key staff members who formerly played or continue to play on local teams, so this year's IC Federal Credit Union Hockey Shootout should be very exciting. We look forward to a successful event and wish all the teams who are participating the best of luck."
Fitchburg State will kick-off the four-team classic on Friday, November 11th as teams from Southern New Hampshire University, Franklin Pierce University and Wentworth battle in the two-day tournament. Fitchburg State looks to retain its third ICFCU Shootout crown after registering a two-game sweep in the classic the past two seasons. Last year, the Falcons skated to a convincing 9-3 victory over Franklin Pierce on day one before completing the two-game sweep with a 5-3 triumph over Wentworth.
“We are extremely pleased to partner with the IC Federal Credit Union for the second annual shootout”, said head hockey coach, Dean Fuller. “It is a great opportunity to give the Fitchburg community a great hockey tournament at the newly renovated Wallace Civic Center.”
