WHY: ‘The Goalie Game’ annually supports the mission of Pittsburgh I.C.E. Hockey (Inclusion Creates Equality), currently celebrating its 25th anniversary season. In 2025, the inaugural ‘The Goalie Game’ saved the program. Pittsburgh I.C.E. Hockey is a nonprofit organization that is dedicated to providing youth of all backgrounds with an opportunity to play hockey while using the sport as a platform for positive youth development, academics, and life skills. Pittsburgh I.C.E. youth hockey players train weekly at the RMU Island Sports Center where they also receive instruction from local experts and motivational speakers. The Pittsburgh I.C.E. program readies its participants for a bright future both on and off the ice with over 1,500 kids completing the program to date.
