The Austin Ice Bats are proud to be part of the Central Texas community. We aim to make an impact both on and off the ice through appearances by visiting schools, charities, and local events. Our players enjoy meeting fans, supporting great causes, and sharing their love for hockey across Austin.
Starting this season, through our Bat Colony Classroom Program, players will visit local schools to inspire students, encourage teamwork, and introduce the sport of hockey. Beyond the classroom, the Ice Bats volunteer at community events, help with youth programs, and take part in projects with first responders and local businesses. These appearances strengthen our connection with the community that supports us.
