The Ducks will also use the evening as an Olympic sendoff for our local Olympic athletes training at Great Park Ice and former Lady Ducks who will be travelling to Beijing next week to compete in the 2022 Winter Olympic Games. U.S. Olympic pairs figure skaters Brandon Frazier and Alexa Knierim, will be in attendance to drop the ceremonial first puck. U.S. Men's Olympic Figure Skater Nathan Chen, U.S. Women's Olympic Figure Skater Mariah Bell and U.S. Olympic Women's Hockey player and former Lady Duck Cayla Barnes will take part with video messages.
Puck Drop Patio will host multiple activities including a wishing wall, where fans can contribute New Year greetings and wishes for 2022. Additionally, traditional lion dances will be performed in the patio and arena throughout the evening. Inside Honda Center, contemporary Asian music and Lunar New Year themed entertainment will help to ring in the Year of the Tiger. Videos of Ducks fans and SCORE participants delivering New Year's greetings and messages of luck for the Ducks in their native language will also be played.
