Bat Colony Classroom Program
The Austin Ice Bats are proud to launch the Bat Colony Classroom Program, a new community project starting this season. As the team continues to grow, we’re expanding our reach beyond the rink and into schools around the area.
This program lets Ice Bats players serve as positive role models. During classroom visits, players share stories about teamwork, discipline, and effort. They show how hockey lessons can apply to real life. Students learn that focus, hard work, and determination can help them reach their goals both in school and beyond.
Throughout the year, players will visit classrooms to read with students and lead fun, interactive activities. These visits promote confidence, leadership, and teamwork. In every session, players encourage students to believe in themselves and support one another.
Each student who participates will receive a complimentary ticket to an Austin Ice Bats home game. This special reward allows students and their families to experience live hockey together. They’ll get to cheer for the same players who visited their classroom, creating a lasting and memorable connection.
This is the first year of the program, and the Ice Bats hope it becomes a long-standing tradition in the community. By visiting schools, our players help inspire effort, teamwork, and pride. They show that success comes from consistency and a positive attitude—both on and off the ice.

Together, we can build a stronger community—one classroom at a time—while giving students an unforgettable experience cheering for the Austin Ice Bats.
